  2. Air-independent propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-independent_propulsion

    Air-independent propulsion (AIP), or air-independent power, is any marine propulsion technology that allows a non-nuclear submarine to operate without access to atmospheric oxygen (by surfacing or using a snorkel). AIP can augment or replace the diesel-electric propulsion system of non-nuclear vessels.

  3. Magnetohydrodynamic drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_drive

    Yamato 1 on display in Kobe, Japan.The first working full-scale MHD ship. A magnetohydrodynamic drive or MHD accelerator is a method for propelling vehicles using only electric and magnetic fields with no moving parts, accelerating an electrically conductive propellant (liquid or gas) with magnetohydrodynamics.

  4. S5G reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S5G_reactor

    The S5G reactor plant floats in a tank of water to simulate the engine room of a submarine. The S5G reactor was a prototype naval reactor designed for the United States Navy to provide electricity generation and propulsion on submarines. The S5G designation stands for: S = Submarine platform; 5 = Fifth generation core designed by the contractor

  5. Nuclear marine propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_marine_propulsion

    Nuclear power had revolutionized the Navy. The United States shared its technology with the United Kingdom, while French, Soviet, Indian and Chinese development proceeded separately. [citation needed] After the Skate-class vessels, U.S. submarines were powered by a series of standardized, single-reactor designs built by Westinghouse and General ...

  6. Gotland-class submarine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotland-class_submarine

    The Gotland-class submarines of the Swedish Navy are modern diesel-electric submarines, which were designed and built by the Kockums shipyard in Sweden. They are the first submarines in the world to feature a Stirling engine air-independent propulsion (AIP) system, which extends their underwater endurance from a few days to weeks. [2]

  7. Pump-jet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump-jet

    A pump-jet, hydrojet, or water jet is a marine system that produces a jet of water for propulsion. The mechanical arrangement may be a ducted propeller (axial-flow pump), a centrifugal pump, or a mixed flow pump which is a combination of both centrifugal and axial designs. The design also incorporates an intake to provide water to the pump and ...

  9. S1W reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S1W_reactor

    The S1W reactor was the first prototype naval reactor used by the United States Navy to prove that the technology could be used for electricity generation and propulsion on submarines. The designation of "S1W" stands for S = Submarine platform; 1 = First generation core designed by the contractor; W = Westinghouse was the contracted designer
