Popis:	New industrial processes for forming methane hydrate, combined with the knowledge that small changes in gas hydrate-forming mixtures can greatly expand the pressure-temperature field of hydrate stability, suggest that virtually solid gas hydrates can be formed and stored in fuel tanks of any shape at near sea level ambient conditions. Development of this technology may allow a gas hydrate fuel transport medium to be devised and applied. Reduction-to-practice of this special fuel storage medium could have a significant impact upon the design and engineering of future Navy vessels and concurrently upon the future of naval operations.
