Sorry guys...I'm so tired of dealing with all these dam hurricanes and
this last one came with its own flood that took out every thing. No

Carbon Fiber. It's been used for years and is
nothing new. Spend some time traveling through the Internet before
you make unnecessary mail for every one. Why don't you guys go join
a chat room some place. Fiber glass works fine too. I know
your 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.
Myles.

[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
