Using this methodology a comprehensive study was carried out for a large ocean going submarine that must also be able to operate in littoral waters. The major results are highlighted in the paper. 000007662 542__ $$fCC-BY-4.0 000007662 6531_ $$aConventional submarines 000007662 6531_ $$aAir independent Power generating concept 000007662 6531_ $$aSubmarine design 000007662 6531_ $$aSubmarine operation 000007662 7001_ $$aStapersma, Douwe$$uDelft University of Technology & Member of Dutch Underwater Knowledge Centre, The Netherlands 000007662 7001_ $$aPrins, Carel$$uDelft University of Technology & Member of Dutch Underwater Knowledge Centre, The Netherlands 000007662 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of INEC 000007662 773__ $$jINEC 2020 000007662 789__ $$whttps://zenodo.org/record/4478881$$2URL$$eIsIdenticalTo 000007662 85641 $$uhttps://www.imarest.org/events/inec-2020$$yConference website 000007662 8564_ $$94680248b-a092-401d-904d-4250f41b7711$$s2588717$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/7662/files/INEC_2020_Paper_29.pdf
