I thought this WAS the definitive chat room for sub
discussion. The more discussion, the more knowledge gained. The more knowledge
gained, the more education and safer designs.
I've seen periods of very little postings here.
Which is better?
Bill.

Carbon Fiber. It's been used for years and is

make unnecessary mail for every one. Why don't you guys go join a chat

excited about submarines and I understand but if you go to the archives of
this site you'll find out all kinds of good stuff with out all this e
mail.
Simon,
My limited experience in this
has shown me that steel is used because of the cost factor. I guess
dollar for dollar, it is the cheapest and easiest material to work
with. As far as weight is concerned, the subs NEED weight anyway so
why not incorporate some of that into the pressure hull with steel
? ...that's how it seems to me.

[PSUBS-MAILIST] carbon fibre
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but why
hasn't anybody made a pressure hull out of carbon fibre? Apparently it's
5 times as strong as steel, and good for reinforcing aluminium. Sounds
like a logical, light-weight, low-cost
alternative
