Lots of excellent analysis from the list.
The ship should also be analyzed as to why it couldn't sustain a rip in the hull and stay afloat. An excessively high center of gravity by design may have compromised the ships stability. Accidents still happen even with fail safe devises and well trained crew in place so naval architecture needs to keep up to reduce the consequences of groundings, collisions, and acts of war .
