A power system for an unmanned surface vehicle is disclosed. In one embodiment, the power system includes a fuel cell, a fuel storage, and an air management system. The fuel cell includes a fuel cell stack. The fuel cell stack includes a fuel inlet, an air inlet, and an exhaust outlet. The fuel storage includes at least one fuel-storage module fluidly connected to the fuel inlet of the fuel cell stack. The fuel-storage module is a source of energy for the fuel cell. The air management system is fluidly connected to the air inlet and the exhaust outlet of the fuel cell. An air snorkel is part of the air management system and provides air to operate the fuel cell while the unmanned surface vehicle is deployed on a surface of a body of water. The air snorkel includes an intake and an exhaust. 1101210.
