    And pressure differences for submersible hull are orders of magnitude greater than pressure differences for aircraft hull.

      Hell, even a spacecraft hull differential is typically the same as one atmosphere, total. By about 10m down you're already 1 atm of additional force beyond the 1 atm that exists just by existing at sea level. So, at the depth of the Titanic (around 3800 meters) you're at around 380 atm of pressure, give or take.
