ZorgusPrime Posted June 15, 2008 Share "The original use of scandium-aluminium alloys was in the nose cones of some USSR submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). The strength of the resulting nose cone was enough to enable it to pierce the ice-cap without damage' date=' and so, enabling a missile launch while still submerged under the Arctic ice cap."[/quote'] Their other option was carbon, but they decided against it on the following grounds: 1. Too expensive2. Supply was limited due to the large number of bottle cages being manufactured at the time3.
