Egad! Actually, she looks a bit top-heavy to me. But that is probably just my eyes. They are pretty careful to design ships where the center of gravity (in ships, the “righting moment”?) with room, but...add on structures and stuff can change that.

For warships, that always seems to be problematic because they always want to add stuff on above the waterline.

At least that is how I see it.

Engineering Change Control Boards are supposed to prevent that from happening. Everything that’s added or changed in some way is evaluated for potential impact.
