Germany Launches Super Stealth Submarine First Hydrogen Fueled

Germany Launches Super Stealth Submarine First Hydrogen Fueled


The new German-made submarines U-212 A was almost no noise. Also emit almost no heat radiation and is completely made of nonmagnetic metal.

Although sophisticated submarine is not a nuclear submarine, but also not a diesel submarine. U-212 A is the most advanced submarines in the world because it uses a hydrogen fuel cell developed by German naval shipyard Howaldtswerke Deutsche Werft, which claims that a "top German submarine technology."

Super-stealth ship is the first of its kind to be powered by a revolutionary hydrogen fuel cells that enable it cruises without noise or exhaust heat.

That's important, because, according to Bernd Arjes, a captain in the German Navy. "We operate in coastal waters around Europe and submarines are designed specifically to locate submarines. If you want to find other submarines of course you should not speak out, "he said. With the latest technology, he adds, "The submarine is virtually undetectable."

U-212 A is not like conventional submarines, which need air to burn diesel fuel, fuel cell does not require oxygen to operate.

This means it can remain submerged for weeks - hold my breath many times longer than a cousin who drank diesel submarines.

As a hitter submarine submarines armed with 12 heavyweight torpedo that is guided, each capable of destroying a warship or off an aircraft carrier.

"A carrier may not be tampered with one torpedo but maybe on the wheel or something then the carrier may not be bermanuverdan to use the aircraft," said Arjes.

Germany, which has no nuclear weapons or nuclear-powered ship itself, is the world's third largest exporter of defense goods.

Export Edition has been sold to the navy of Greece, Portugal and South Korea. With automatic device, requiring only minor submarine crew hence there is little comfort for those on board. Even so the life of submariners still remains one of the limited residence
