The second answer to your post can be found doing an internet search on "submarine hull material".

See:
MIL-STD-1522A STANDARD GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF PRESSURIZED MISSILE AND SPACE SYSTEMS
See NASA MSC-SPEC-522B DESIGN CRITERIA FOR CONTROLLING STRESS CORROSION CRACKING. In this document NASA specifically recommend materials that can be used for pressure vessel and which don't due to stress corrosion sensitivity.
MSFC-STD-3029 replaced MSC-SPEC-522B
All above documents are available on the net.
