There's a big reason most ships and vessels are not made solely of carbon fibre - which can be incredibly strong in many circumstances. It has very mediocre compressive strength....A small ding or nick could compromise the entire structure at these pressures, maybe even something that is entirely unnoticeable.

I can’t even transport my carbon fibre bike on a hanging rack. It has to sit on a platform. It can’t tow anything. Poor tensile strength. Its light though.
Going down in something like that just baffles me.
