8 kWh of heat can be generated from 1 kg of coal.
12 kWh from 1 kg of mineral oil
24,000,000 kWh from 1 kg of uranium-235.

Related to one kilogram, uranium-235 contains two to three million times the energy of coal or oil.

Subs have around 4 to 5 kg of U-235

Once upon a time ships burnt coal modern ships burn bunkers which is heavy fuel oil.

That door is well and truly closed and bolted. The French subs are perhaps a better bet than the American or UK ones but they will still need to be nuclear.

OIC. I thought tho that diesel-electric subs were quieter than nuclear ones? Or is range a problem or has everything sub changed to nuclear? I am not really well, or at all really, read up on subs incl our nuke subs deal.

Range is the main problem. No one builds conventional subs with long enough range. The COLLINS class were unique and unusual. The only reason why the Swedes got the contract was because they bent over backwards for us to make their subs suitable for what we basically wanted. The Germans failed to make the cut off date for the contract and had too short a range. The Yanks are imposing all sorts of conditions on us. The British less so.

I visited HMAS Stirling last April for the first time since about 1996. The changes in that time were incredible, as was the development in the surrounding Rockingham area. Henderson will have alarge part to play in the future. (Mind you, HMAS Stirling was planed from the outset as a support base for nuclear submarines)
