Newsubs could fuel
Researche rs from the Derf'lKf! Science and Technology Ortllnisation (VSTO) au looking II using fuel cell ~Iflcb .. hich conveM hydrogen and oxygen into el« lricily 10 power Australi,', new Col· lins dass submarines and make 'hem "sll'lIlthier".
The fuel ce ll slacks allow thc submarine to slay submerged longer and lower the risk of radar detection in times of connict.
The fuel cells would be in addition to the submarine's normal diesel-electric power system.
MFuel cells are also environmentally friendly. They are a very efficient way of producing electricity with minimal pollution.
"" In civilian applications such as transport and power generation they could reduce global warming:' said DSTO researcher and team leader Dr David Brighton. from the DSTO Materials Research Laborato ry.
While the Navy is inte rested in a number of Air Independent Propulsion (AlP) options for the Collins class submarine, fuel cells do have advantages over other options.
"The stacks can make the submarine stealthier. They have no moving parts and arc quieter Ihan heat engines, resulting in a lower noise signature for the SUb ,M Dr Brighton said.
Because fuel cells are very efficient. the thermal signature of the sub is also decreased.
MFuel cells are a very efficient means of producing electricity from a cold reaction. The reaction takes place at around 70 degrees centigrade, producing electricity and as a by-product, water.
"The water could be used fo r washing on the submarine, or even drinking. ~
A single fuel cell can produce about 0.7 volts when loaded.

NQM philosophies have been taken seriously by HMAS NIRlMBA personnel and eagerly implemented with the relocation of Joan clothing from Naval Stores, on the edge of the base, to the Victualling Square certainly appealing to the ship's company.
The move occurred with much feverish activi ty on the part of the SNs and SVs - boxing and un-boxing of l(ne items. disassembling and assembling shelving and establishing issuing procedures.
The reloca tion has returned loan clothing to the fold . Despite late afternoon and early morning starts to en
sure relocation proceeded smoothly. the victualling staff agree the management of this important section is now in the care of professionals.
Personnel at NI RIMBA are understandably happy at the ease at which they now request loan clothing and . of course. for trainees. it means less time away from their instruction !

Four Slaff members from the school, including the Commanding Officer's wife , Mrs McAree, accompanied the children and were shown some DERWE NT-style hospital ilY.
DE R WENT left Sydney for Ihe West at the beginning of August in company with liMAS BRISBANE. and the trip horne was punctuated by only one porI fo r DERWENT, an overnighl fue lling stop al Portland.
Even Ih is ' flying visit ' proved somelhing of a pub-lie relations success when Portland native and member of Ihe Ship's Company ABWfR Jamie Parke r was besieged by Ihe local press at the beheSi of his parents .
A number of the Ship's Company were n U led 10 a home cooked meal by Mrs Parke r Ihal e \·ening.
The Great A U5ITal ian Bight proved true to its reputa tion as DERWENT mader he r way across in company wi lh liMAS PE RTH who she had joineu on sailing from Port· land.
Very heavy weather was experienced for Ihe remain· de r o f Ihe trip 10 STI R LING .
Also al STIRLING for the PWO Sea Wee k were H MA Ships BRISBANE .
TORRE NS and OVENS as well as IIMNZS WAIKATO.
The busy program fo r lhe PWQ Sea Week commenced the foll owing day ran a li lt le less than sll'lOOlhly o .. i ng 10 the continuing very rough wealher and some problems with Ihe submarine.
Nonetheless the aim was achieved by the end of Ihe week wilh the Ihree DERWENT PWO students. LCDR Mark Nicol , LEUT Tony Raeside and LEUT Tony O 'Malley all achieving pass marks.
The ship 's operational rommilments for the year ended wi th the complelion of the PWO Sea Week and he r return to STIRLING on a wet and miserable Satu rday afternoon.
" was a somewhol disappoint ing end to whal had been 3 particularly enjoyable deployment a ll the way arollnd AuSlra lia.
However. all were glad to be home.
On a rrival at FBW the ship commenced he r RAP. " 'hich will see he: r id le at STIRLING unl;1 ea rly next yeal .
A la rgc amount o f interna l maintenance will take place during thiS period as we ll as much cont inual ion tra ining for the sh ip's company.
No doubt the o ld girl, now the oldest DE in the neet . will enjoy the rest
