They probably listen continuously but don't want to say so.

The Navy listens all the time, 24/7. There's vast networks of hydrophones all over to listen to enemy subs, which also happen to catch everything else happening as well.

Carbon fiber is sort of expensive, what more proof do you need?

yeah, it's obvious you're not an engineer, maybe keep your opinions to yourself on this.

the job of a materials engineer is to design something that's just barely robust enough to not fail in simulations, which you create for yourself with made up numbers when you don't know the real answer, and then to change jobs before your design is fielded. these are the basics that you learn in your first year out of college, if not sooner.

quote:

The deep sea exploration company has described The Boeing Co., the University of Washington, and NASA as “partners” who made significant contributions to the vessel’s design and construction.

“We partnered with aerospace experts at the University of Washington, NASA and Boeing on the design of our hull,” a promotional video on OceanGate’s YouTube channel advertises. The moderator’s statement is accompanied by a screen covered in the logos for Boeing, NASA and the UW.

This week, all three entities — Boeing, NASA and UW — denied participating in the sub’s design or construction.

I have a solution to the "billionaires should not exist" problem. We continue to allow billionaires to exist but every week they draw lots and we send five of them down to the bottom of the ocean on a rickety submarine and see if they survive. The rich get to keep their money and we all get to be entertained. Win win I say.

Yes.

If these guys had actual engineers they would of done this. It sounds like the CEO replaced anyone competent who disagreed with him with 21 year old grad students who would say yes to everything or be fired.

Carbon fibre is a poo poo-rear end material in compression and composites are one of the few things which fatigue in compression.

Like genuinely if they'd made the hull out of an alloy steel forging or a titanium forging they'd likely of been fine.

Probably a slight inaccuracy by the reporter, or eliding for brevity.

The Navy started looking at it's recordings as soon as they were alerted about the missing sub. They found what was probably an implosion in their recordings right after the sub lost comms, and alerted the incident commander shortly after the sub was reported missing (hours after the actual destruction).

To be fair if the sub was going to blow up anyway then the best possible thing for our resident dipshit CEO was to die a (presumably) painless death aboard it rather than still be up here and on the hook for imploded a bunch of goobers in his innovative new carbon-fiber coffin.

That makes more sense. The way it is worded sounds like the navy sprang into action to check on the death tube the instant it stopped communicating.
