Japan's Silent Submarines Extend Range With Lithium-Ion Batteries (nikkei.com)
AmiMoJo shares a report from Nikkei Asian Review: Japan's first submarine powered by lithium-ion batteries was launched on Thursday. The [Soryu-class diesel-electric] submarine can reach speeds of roughly 20 knots and displaces 2,950 tons. It will be delivered to the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force in March 2020. Batteries are recharged by the energy generated by Oryu's diesel engines. The vessel switches to batteries during operations and actual combat in order to silence the engines and become harder to detect. The lithium-ion batteries radically extend the sub's range and time it can spend underwater.
You better email those Japanese engineers right away to inform them of the terrible mistake they made, that only you can see.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
Hey man, glad you corrected it later, but it doesn't invalidate your first post, nor my response to it. You still posted something like a know it all, linked wikipedia like you knew what you were talking about, without even reading the article. Nothing is incorrect in my response.
Insufferable is being a twonk like you, and thinking you're not a twonk just because you caught your mistake later. The part that makes you a twonk is the fact that you skipped to the showing people how smart you are and jumped to correct them, while being wrong, because you couldn't be bothered to even read what you linked because you were too busy showing you're the smartest kid in class.
It might be annoying when someone puts up correct information against your own, but that's life, and that's learning. You skipped ahead because you're a twonk.
You're going to keep doing the same thing, just this time you made a mistake. Since at least someone called you out on it, hopefully you'll be less of a twonk and check your facts first before correcting people.
