At first we considered building a sub-aqautic docking system for submarines based off of the remora. This would allow for stealthier movement and leave the submarines less vulnerable. We didn't do this because the remoras attachment segment is very complicated and would require complex 3d printers we don''t possess.

We also considered making a roof using properties of a turtle shell. The roof would have been more resilient to storms due to its aerodynamic and stable shape. We decided against it because there were already extremely similar projects.

By applying the concept protective hardening in sap to the hull of boats, we can greatly reduce risk of sinking at sea.
