==Power sources==
Various different power sources have been used on submarines over the years.  The ''Hunley'' was powered by its crew turning a crank which was connected to the propeller.  Petrol engines have also been used, but they gave way to diesel engines.  Hydrogen peroxide was used in some German submarines during [[World War II]].  More recently nuclear power has been used.  It should be noted it this context that the term "nuclear submarine" refers to a submarine that uses nuclear power for propulsion, not necessarily one which carries nuclear weapons.
