Likely characteristics and performance of submarine tanker and comparison with surface tanker, both of 47,000 ton dw, with nuclear propulsion and powers to 40,000 shp; at normal speeds optimum submarine form would have slightly lower resistance than surface vessel but margin is such that saving in annual fuel bill is unlikely to offset additional cost of submarine and operational difficulties.
