This report considers several possible methods of driving submarines submerged. Of the considered methods, many are of no value, while engineering analysis of others shows that systems can be developed which would make possible the design and construction of submarines having military characteristics greatly superior to the present storage battery submarines. It is concluded that two systems, in addition to the electrolytic gas system now being studied at this Laboratory, warrant development; these are: (a) The heat-storage system; in this; heat is stored in hot substances and used to generate steam for submerged propulsion; (b) The Diesel-liquid oxygen system; in this, the liquid oxygen is generated and stored for use in driving the Diesel engines submerged.
