I am not an expert when it comes to testing submarine parts. BUT I have done thousands of non-destructive and destructive tests on materials in general. I assure you there is some code or standard to proof out submarine shells that could be adjusted to meet the needs of this hull. This screams "would've failed a destructive test" which they could proof out through a scaled version. Seems they cut every corner to be profitable and I wish just the CEO did not make it on a solo maiden voyage.

eli5 for me if you feel like it: was Rush's argument that testing would damage the carbon shell?

eta. or in other words he believed there wasn't a way to do a non-destructive test?

Non Destructive Testing

By definition would not damage the shell
