@youtubasoarus You can't be effectively vaporised by a 40MPa water blast. I can't even get a figure for the boiling point of water at that pressure but it's over 400C.

@neodimium For a very short period.

@xiaoka There will be places inside the matrix where the fibres are in tension. The pressure on the outside is 40MPa. The pressure on the inside is 100kPa. This means that there is a bowing force trying to push the hull inward which to a degree is resisted by the innermost longitudinal fibres in tension. Of course if the fibres are wound circumferentially that's of no use whatsoever, but it doesn't affect the fact that the innermost layer of the hull is in longitudinal tension to some extent. Which is part of why ships have spars as well as frames.
