IV. CONCLUSIONS
The optimum design of submersible electric motors for ship
propulsion has been proposed in this paper. The designed motor
is different with the conventional electric motor. Besides the
dimensions must adjust with ship design, submersible electric
motor technology also offers advantages technology with
compact design, high efficiency, reduced noise and easy
maintenance. In addition, submersible electric motors are more
environmentally friendly because they can be coupled with
