Nice work.


Bit concern about the possible "on-way" maintenance requirement for the Rim thruster as the concept seems make the propulsor motor no longer accessible from the hull.  But we'll see if technology would allows for the "maintenance free" sealed propulsor concept.  If this being the case the propulsor would be sealed, with only power and control cable protruding out.  It will last as long as the submarine itself or be replaced entirely during overhaul which can be like every 5-10 years.


The concept of deploying the UUV also interesting, but my concern is mainly on retrieval. Like if the UUV has no tether cable, how we can guide it back to return to the sub.
