Best Answer

Diesel-Electric submarines use diesel fuel to run their diesel-generators, which provide power to charge their batteries for submerged operations. Nuclear-powered boats typically use a uranium core with a pressurized water configuration. The Russians have also experimented with liquid metal rather than water (bismuth).
