Abstract: The invention defines a propulsion system (10) for an underwater vehicle (40). More particularly, the invention describes a turbo-hydroduct propulsion system which operates on stored, high energy fuel (48). The fuel is combusted and powers a turbopump (16) which pressurizes ingested water to a very high pressure. The pressurized water is subsequently exhausted from the vehicle to produce thrust.
