RE: Transparent Armor Study

There have been a couple of threads on here (whole site not forum) about 'tranparent aluminum' one of them related to a tranparent aluminum ceramic if I remember correctly, it had a link to the manufacturer.  Maybe you can find it.

Search the old Star Trek movies, they made whale tanks out of transparent aluminum in one of them.  Should be possible right after you get time travel figured out.
