Well below the waterline?seamusTX wrote:I don't know if it's that easy. Navy ships are designed to survive being holed, and many have (the USS Cole being a recent example).
Cole got hit at or above the waterline...I guess you would have to hole each individual waterproof section well below the waterline..this way if all the waterproof bulkheads were sealed the ship is still going to take on water in each section.
Would most definitely have to disable the bilge pumps though
Enough derail..back to the OP
