    Why did they go with carbon fiber anyway? It’s light, but in a leisure submarine like that you could always just add more buoyancy if the thing gets heavy. Is this a case of an aerospace engineer thinking “everything looks like a nail”? It’s poetic he was on it when the composite did the composite thing and became plastic again if so.
