In the last fifty years, there has been a rise in the necessity for marine vehicles that are capable of providing performances higher than typical commercial ships. High performance, here, implies high speed. This required intense technical studies because it was not possible to achieve these high speeds with conventional propulsion systems, which otherwise, would have made it uneconomic, owing to the tremendously high power requirements.
