Ship hulls simply wear out with use. Use a metal warship long enough and you will find the hull is paper thin and barely keeps out water. The main supports also develop microscopic cracks from the seas pounding decade after decade. Magneflux inspections have proven thousands of weaknesses in the metals that could suddenly just "let go".
