forming a plurality of liners with a molding process;
wrapping a first composite material around each of the liners to form a plurality of compartments;
forming an aperture in each of the plurality of compartments;
positioning the plurality of compartments adjacent to one another to form a stack of capsules, wherein each capsule includes a first domed end, a second domed end, and a semicylindrical portion extending between and connecting the first domed end to the second domed end; and
wrapping a second composite material around the plurality of compartments to form the high-pressure fluid vessel.
