And what kind of poor design would allow the entire ship to lose power all at once. They don’t have multiple generators and circuits for a ship that size.

A shaft bearing could have failed, for example. Not possible to be redundant there. Failure on ships that large takes a while to fix or back ups to kick in. Its not some Tupperware day boat.
