gears which enable a wide range of speeds. Also‚ by using multiple engines to drive the propulsion system‚ maintenance and repairs can be made while running out to sea. The Navy utilizes gas turbines and nuclear reactors to drive their ships and submarines. Turbines are usually coupled with other engines due to their inefficiency (mainly thermal inefficiency) at idle or low speeds. These reduce emissions‚ but due to the need for a combination of engines or a combined gas turbine cycle are not as cost

withstand the pressure of the water at the depth the submarine is designed to operate. When the air tanks are full of air the submarine will float - usually submarines are designed to float on the surface quite low in the water (only a little freeboard). When the submarine dives (submerges) water is let into the tanks; to surface again air is blown into them. This air must be stored inside the submarine in compressed air tanks. If the submarine submerges with its compressed air tanks empty it will
