Scope and content
BTP/178/62
Discusses the Admiralty's needs in terms of submarines. Price describes situations in which Campbell Secord's "baby submarines" would be useful, and where the "big nuclear hunter-killers" would be needed. Price has spoken to Fry who supported the use of fuel cell submarines for propulsion. The conversion of the Bacon cell to submarine engineering standards is thought to be viable. [The Bacon cell was named after Francis Thomas Bacon's experimental work on hydrogen/oxygen fuel cells].
