we all know submarines are built to withstand huge pressure when submerged at the bottom of the sea. if a submarine somehow finds itself in space (imagine it entered the bermuda triangle and get transported to space), would it be able to retain its structural integrity, or would it explode?

well, i'm not talking about functioning in space, but rather would it survive. space ships are designed to hold everything together, retaining positive pressure inside, hence designed to "pull in". a submarine, on the other hand is designed to withstand pressure from outside, hence technically designed to "push out".

now, if u take a submarine and instantaneously put it in space, wouldnt its structural integrity fail?

(doesnt matter about propeller functions, ballast tanks or whatever)



and yes, yellowsubmarine can go anywhere tongue.gif

probably +ve = -ve

Do you need FEA ? lawl

yes... it would

but all its navigation equipements rotors engine will all be useless

if u r talking about the tank... yes it would withstand
