RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] submarine developments



David,

The British subs were built using the German Walther system from WWII and were named Explorer and Excalibur…the forces nick-named them Exploder and Executioner for good reason.

   Speaking of hydrogen peroxide...
 
   A curiosity question...Quite a few years ago, navies (I think the English were one) studied using hydrogen peroxide to propel submarines...
   Not that I intend to attempt picking up where they left off, but what was it that was being attempted? Was hydrogen being burned as a fuel or what exactly?
