You think the Navy would have learned from the DLGs/CGs in the 70's. On the Leahy (DLG-16), we had to frantically shore up a V-shaped stuperstructure crack at the main deck level in a sea state 6 storm. The superstructure was literally being torn from the main deck by heavy seas and we took on enough water fully submerge our fantail. Even the Chief Boats didn't think we were going to make it.

I remember thinking how embarassing it would be to die sinking in the Med off Mallorca.

Could you have done that now with the petite crew members that I have seen on so many of these naval vessels?
