A survey is made of a variety of conventional and unconventional submarine propulsion systems. Included are three all-mechanical systems, two inboard turboelectric systems, and six in board/outboard turboelectric systems incorporat ing free-flooding propulsion motors. Some of these systems also provide ship control features in addition to the requisite normal propulsion. A current FBM ship, SSB(N)616, is used as a reference design throughout, and only the pro pulsion system is varied. The propulsion system as considered starts at the main steam line and ends with generation of thrust. It includes one or more steam turbine prime movers, mechanical or electric power transmissions, and propulsors. The eleven systems are described and compared, and four are indicated as offering potential improvements over the current propulsion system. (Author)
