So, the bulk of the sub was carbon fiber, right?
I'm not an expert in material science, but I've used moderate amounts of carbon fiber for projects, and in my experience it definitely is tough, but I don't see it as something I would use for the hull of a vessel. In my experience it's somewhat flexible.
Am I wrong about this? I just don't understand why this would be a material choice for what it was used for

It's the flexing and untestable internal damage that lead to it shattering

what's with the carbon fiber meme
is it just the "new and innovative!!!" snake oil or is it legitametly better than other materials in certain cases

If you x-ray it you can tell the internal stress level. This is pretty commonly done for laminated metal parts too.

Certain applications its way better but it did becone a bit of a meme. This application sounds retarded to me, especially since it was supposed to be a repeated use tourist vehicle, exactly what it shouldnt have been used on.
