here is a retired sonar girl who's 2nd career is a youtuber



according to the chief (aaron) this craft was made from carbon fiber with a titanium hatch

my opinion is just as good as anyone here but..

I am a Navy veteran, I was on a submarine, I did get a BSME after I got out, I have some design experience in composite materials, and I have played around with carbonfiber and fiberglass making parts for my motorcycles

I would never ever never get on board a submarine made out of graphite reinforced plastic, aka carbon fiber. No no no no no....

The basic structure in compression is probably sound but what about all the joints and fasteners that are needed to make the craft? O-ring grooves, threaded fasteners in the hull?

No Effing Way squared
