There doesn’t seem to be damage below the waterline. Though there is much damage to the superstructure. It is possible that good damage control could have saved the ship. We won’t be getting any accurate information so it’s all just conjecture.

The U.S. Navy has fought in major naval engagements for a very long time, and has developed exceptional damage control processes and procedures that have been incorporated into ship design, training etc.. The modern Russian Navy has no such experience and has been built largely for show. Their seamanship is massively inferior to ours.

I'd seriously question both the design of their ships from a damage-control perspective, as well as the training of those crews.
