How do submarines withstand deep sea pressure?
The simple explanation of the ability of a submarine to withstand deep sea pressure lies in the mechanical strength of the pressure hull. On modern military submarines (called boats by the crews) the pressure hull is make of steel (except in the case of a few Russian boats which used titanium). This steel basically forms a cylinder and keeps the pressure of the sea water at operating depth from crushing the hull. To gain a tactical advantage, the Russian Navy built some of their boats with titanium pressure hulls. These hulls were designed to allow greater operating depths, and, therefore, increased ability to "hide" beneath the sea. But as is the case with the steel hulls, the titanium hulls used the geometry (shape) and the mechanical strength of the pressure hull and all the fittings to keep the water out at test depth.
