3.1.2 Propulsion and Electrical Machinery Alternatives<br />
The propulsion section is broken down into requirements and alternatives. The final propulsion alternative<br />
hierarchy for <strong>SSG</strong>(X) is shown in Figure 5. The propulsor type will either be a shrouded single shaft propeller or a<br />
Rim Driven Pod.<br />

3.1.2.1 Machinery Requirements<br />
Based on the ADM and Program Manager guidance, pertinent propulsion plant design requirements are<br />
summarized as follows:<br />
General Requirements –<br />
The propulsion and power must be non-nuclear. The submarine must be capable of transiting from base to area<br />
of conflict under its own power. While in areas of hostility <strong>SSG</strong>(X) must be capable of covert littoral maneuvering.<br />
The <strong>SSG</strong>(X) will operate in two modes: AIP and snorkel.
