What wonderful news and fabulous engineering!

1:11 - givers some nice data. The boats two engines are equivalent to approx 100hp each. It consumes energy at the rate of approx 6Kw/h per nautical mile to move the boat at a speed of 22.8 knots. 370V @ 187amps per motor! The battery must be large!

Wrong! "kW/h" does not exist! "kWh" is the correct measurement unit.

Why can you not do this with combustion engines ?

Replace diesel generators with hydrogen fuel cell electric generators, get hydrogen from solar, wind and seawater.
