Abstract
Recently, there have been reports of disasters related to the disappearance of submarines. One of the potential causes of disasters is the ship's descent to the so-called critical depth and its subsequent implosion. However, the occurrence of the submarine implosion phenomenon may be difficult to achieve. This is due to the presence of hydraulic fittings and other more susceptible hull components. The article presents an analysis of the strength of a fragment of the submarine's hull, modelled on Kobben-class ships, to demonstrate the possibility of an implosion. Furthermore, the construction of submarines was presented, and phenomena related to the strength of submarine hulls using FEM were discussed.
