The present invention relates to a fuel cell system for providing electrical energy for an underwater vehicle. One or more fuel cell modules are provided and a fuel is supplied from a first compartmented tank and an oxidant is supplied from a second compartmented tank. The tanks are divided by a resilient membrane or bladder and sea water is used in one compartment of the oxidant tank to provide a pressure balance and the spent fuel is returned to one compartment of the fuel tank to provide a pressure balance. Sea water is used for cooling the various components of the system.
