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 !

ABSV Duffy assumed command of the store following a 100 percent muster and is seen below authorising a transac­lioll for wardroom chef ABCK George Gauci .

Conducting an AFZ pat­rol from Perth to Broome BUNBURY (LCDR R.A. Ward) intercepted the longliner fishing inside the zone with 38 miles of line out.

She was boarded in heavy seas and escorted \0 Port Hedland where Fisheries authorities pro-

cessed the charges. A not guilty plea has

been entered and a hearing has been set for early December.

After leaving Port Hed­land. BUNBURY pro­ceeded north to act as mother ship for 3 Fisheries 19 fOOl runabou t conduct­ing Trochus and pearl lease surveys.

While in the area landing parties conducted searches of the King Sound area .

The time at anchor proved interesting with

The return trip began with a rout ine check of Scott Reef.

Boardings were con­ducted on a large number of traditional Indonesian lype twO fish ing vessels.

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.

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.
