This story reminds me of the Vasa, the swedish ship that sank about 5 minutes into it’s maiden journey around 1500 or so. It was discovered and raised and a portion sits in the museum. It has been determined that the failure occurred because of the constant changes the were added during construction. It was made longer, then taller, more guns, etc. Sounds eerily similar to this article in which changes were added without anticipating the impacts to other parts of the ship.
You have no idea just how right you are. The LCS-2 design has had “water wings” (large sponons) added to the stern to compensate for the lack of reseve bouyancy and the placement of the main mission module bay too close to the waterline. If that bay were to flood, not just combat damage but also issues with the doors, the ship would be a repeat of Vasa and Mary Rose.
