Titan, previously named Cyclops 2, was a submersible created and operated by the American underwater-tourism company OceanGate.It was the first privately-owned submersible with a claimed maximum depth of 4,000 metres (13,000 ft), [2] and the first completed crewed submersible with a hull constructed of titanium and carbon fiber composite materials.
The M80 Stiletto is the largest U.S. naval vessel using advanced carbon-fiber and epoxy composite materials, which yield a light yet strong hull. These craft are expected to cost between $6 and $10 million US Dollars each. Rear view of M80 Stiletto during a training session with Navy SEALs, 2006.
The hull is built from fiberglass reinforced epoxy and a PVC fiberglass epoxy sandwich. The hull has a nearly-plumb stem, an open reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable carbon fiber lifting keel with a lead bulb weight. It displaces 3,774 lb (1,712 kg) and carries 1,570 lb (712 kg) of ...
It displaces 1,790 lb (812 kg) and carries 628 lb (285 kg) of lead ballast. The boat features a very large asymmetrical spinnaker with an area of 491 sq ft (45.6 m 2), flown from the carbon fiber bowsprit. [2]
A piece of the Titan's carbon-fiber hull recovered after the submersible's deadly catastrophic implosion showed "anomalies," a National Transportation Safety Board engineer said Wednesday during a ...
U-995, a U-Boat of WWII, showing the typical combination of ship-like non-watertight outer hull with bulky strong hull below. A submarine hull has two major components, the light hull and the pressure hull. The light hull (casing in British usage) of a submarine is the outer non-watertight hull which provides a hydrodynamically efficient shape ...
