Seems that both Typhoon and Mike class Soviet submarines have titanium pressure vessels. Interesting, but military budgets and materials applications don't really relate to civilian surface vessel applications, unless you happen to own a country.
So far it seems that there is no good technical reason that titanium has not been applied to the manufacturing of yachts.
