Where did you read that? It was a steel casting with 6" wall thickness. In any event, cyanoacrylate glue was not widely available 60 years ago. As a class of adhesives, cyanoacrylates are classified as having "weak" resistance to moisture, making their use to fabricate submarine parts questionable at best.
