Abstract
The goal in developing submarines for military purposes is to make them high performance and highly maneuverable. Thus, the size of the submarine should be compatible with these goals. The size of the submarine is heavily dependent on the efficiency of the power plant. A nuclear power plant has many more advantages than a conventional diesel-electric powerplant. However, today's technology is not advanced enough to make a nuclear power plant small and light enough for a small submarine craft. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the fuel cell power plant study, configuration design, and dynamic behavior simulation. A mathematical model for the dynamic motion simulation is developed. The dynamic behavior simulations are carried out and analyzed.
