Yet another option for fuel storage

well since no one seems to like the idea of sorting the d and t from
basic h2 and grossly increasing ship ranges/endurance how bout another
idea.
rather than storing h2 as a liquid which is really very bulky why not
jack up the pressure in the tanks and store it as a solid. thaw what
you need as you need it cause liquid is so much easier to handle but
the solid h2 is again literally 99% less volume than liquid h2. your
tanks need to be stronger and you need some extra equipment but you
gain a huge amount of internal volume. even for commercial ships the
cost bennies should be dramatically in favour of this approach. after
all if you can increase the amount of cargo space on a ship at was
making money by 15% you are going to be rolling in dough.
show a military designer how to gain 35% or more of a ship's internal
volume and he'll probably offer to bear your children on the spot.

Just pray that you never get a fuel tank rupture.
