Water has a specific heat of 1 calorie per gram degree. Moreover, the heat of vaporization of water is 560 cal/gm. , and boiling water stays at 100 deg C at atmospheric pressure until it has boiled away (all been converted to vapor). Under these circumstances, could one of the Nuke Navy folks explain if, and how, melting through the submarine wall would happen if the submarine is even partly submerged?
