Wooden submarines
Mike here in Malaysia,
I was just thinking, what if you built a submarine out of plank wood
(2"x2" or 4"x4")and braced it internally, then faced it with .75"
plywood covered with .75" fiberglass? Wouldn't the bracing keep it
from collapsing? Other than costing a bunch for the wood, we have
mahaogany, teak and a number of very tough woods out here in Malaysia
that might be able to take the strain of deep water diving (down to
200-300 feet).
Is it possible? Can some of our engineers say something about this?
