Optimum buoyancy requirements for weight-limited deep submersibles

Submersibles are limited in depth by the strength of the pressure hull. The pressure hull, in turn, is limited in strength by the properties of the material used in fabrication, construction techniques, and by the weight of material used in construction. Once the ballast weight has been taken up...
