Navy Reveals Full Scale Submarine Hull Tank at Portsmouth
A six-year secret Navy project to test submarine hull strength under simulated depths has been disclosed at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

The facility, developed with the Bureau of Ships and David Taylor model basin input, marks the first public demonstration of this advanced testing, enabling detailed study of external pressure effects on new submarine designs and future improvements.
