Submarine Propulsion Systems. During World War II, most American submarines were powered by diesel-electric systems. This was a departure from earlier submarine power systems, which were direct drive types, little changed from the earliest boats.

Confidence votes 20.3K. Modern Nuclear-powered & Diesel-Electric submarines are only limited by crew limitations, specifically food and other supplies. Without the need to replenish food, they can stay submerged indefinitely since oxygen is generated, carbon monoxide and dioxide is filtered, and potable water is distilled. However, DE submarines are also limited in range and time at sea by available fuel, while a Nuclear Powered boat doesn't have that problem.
