Why are submarines always built with very thick and heavy metal?

The pressure hull of a submarine must withstand the pressure of water at depth. Hundreds of pounds of pressure per square inch translates into many tons of pressure around a pressure hull. If that hull doesn't have the strength to stand up to this, the pressure hull will implode. Steel is a "known quantity" as far as metals. We've used it for a long time, and we have a good handle on its characteristics. Steel alloys are extremely strong, fairly easy to fabricate, and won't double the national debt if we use this metal to make a submarine pressure hull.
Steel's weldability and its common availability make it a fine choice for submarine pressure hulls. It's really strong, too. That's a big plus. No one wants to be inside the pressure hull of a submarine when it fails.

Why submarines are built with hard thick sheets of metal?
To withstand the external pressure.
Why are submarines built of hard thick sheets of metal?
To withstand high water pressure when they are submerged at sea.
Why are submarines built of hard thick sheet of metal?
Because they need to be able to withstand the pressure of the seawater outside. The deeper a submarine goes - the higher the pressure gets.

Is cadmium sulfate soluble?
Yes, Cadmium Sulfate (CdSO4) is soluble. Sulfate (SO4) is always soluble, except with a heavy metal. Luckily, Cadmium is not a heavy metal, and therefore, it is soluble.
What type of metal are submarines made of?

Why kind of music do people who always hyper listen to?
I think people who always hyper listen to the heavy metal music.My opinons.
Why submarines are made of thick sheet of metal?
As a submarine submerges, it is subjected to a high volume of water pressure, which increases the further in depth the submarine goes. They have to be built to be able to withstand this pressure.
Why is metallica so freakin' awesome?
Because it just is. They are one of the greatest heavy metal bands and always will be.
