Ceramic hull subs?

Frame57 · 07-06-08, 01:46 PM

I remember a Cheif once talking about the navy experimenting with what he called "Glass" for future use in making hulls for subs. At that time I thought how cool that would be because then I could see stuff. But I think he was referring to ceramic. Now I am reading a book by Joe Buff, where these subs have ceramic hulls and can acheive tremndous depths. So I was wondering if any one else heard of theis and what your opinion of it might be?
