Excerpt from The Technology Monthly and Harvard Engineering Journal, Vol. 3: May, 1916
The French already have at least two large submarines fitted with steam power plants. In the United States an arrangement for the large sea-going submarines recently authorized has been proposed whereby two boilers using superheated steam furnish the steam for two turbines which are connected by suitable clutches to motor - generators. These in turn, are also connected to the propeller shafts by clutches. By throw ing out these latter clutches the motor generators can be run independently by the steam turbines when it is desired to charge the storage batteries. When it is desired to run submerged the two forward clutches are thrown out, and the boat is then driven by the motors from the storage batteries.
