On the contrary, the answer was clearly no.

You're dreaming. It's nice to have dreams. But a nineteenth-century steam and and battery powered submarine is just that.

@alt5494 Okay... been a few years since thermodynamics class. Well, over 30... I've heard of sodium nuclear reactors. But your using heated Sodium to create steam and thus work?🤔 Off the top of my head..... Assuming the Metallurgy of this work? The heat generated in a sub would be rather uncomfortable at best?🤔 What works the pump? How do you make the exhaust watertight?

@alt5494 This also run smack-dab into the historical timeline of the invention of the internal combustion engine and electrical generator....🤔 This Jules Verne Sub would be made obsolete by Mr. Holland's sub rather quicky.

And submarines with steam was tried. It was a fail.

Rather than turbine or triple expansion Steam; a better option may have been Marine Diesel? As submarine diesels became more popular and advanced. Their use will become more widespread.

@abrahamdozer6273 actually diesel locomotives were already replacing steam at that time. A marine diesels on Subs were in constant development. Very suitable for ships of this type.

@abrahamdozer6273 I would agree with that statement.

@RedXlV you would be ignoring the treaty restrictions. Would likely require more beam. And you would likely sacrifice protection to maintain displacement and speed.

@adaw2d3222 you do realize of course World War 1 basically scarred the world? The majority opinion was towards disarmament.
