“I have a suspicion DEI and Tranny’s were involved.”
Sounds more like Union Tactics to me. Obvious solution is to OUTLAW the unions.
In any case, if our navy vessels are no safer than the Titan Sub, is it really a good idea to go toe-to-toe against China and Russia (maybe at the same time)?
well...seems like the US version of the titan sub is at least as good as a Chinese sub.
Oddly carbon fiber impregnated with epoxy type resins are immensely strong, stronger than steel. They are magnificent in tension. They are poor in compression. The multiple compression cycles on that sub under thousands of pounds of pressure (5400 psi at the depth of the Titanic) will cause a de-lamination of the carbon fiber wraps and subsequent loss of strength. Each time that sub went down it became a little bit weaker. In contrast we use carbon fiber bottles that can hold thousands of pounds of pressure over multiple cycles with no loss in strength. It is in tension not compression.
