BAE has already been given the all clear to buy some of the special submarine steel that would be needed for the new boats
Is this a layman's term for an actual type of steel, or is the author just clueless? (I suppose it could be both).

They ran out of wooden dowels.

The Russian's were known for making subs out of titanium alloys.

probably HY100 steel. It's a strong grade of steel, as opposed to A36.
