Doesn’t the Navy design any redundancy into it’s ships anymore? I'd think that would be a prime consideration in combat survivability. The old DLG and DDG that I served on had four boilers in two separate boiler rooms. There were turbines in two separate engine rooms. We could still be underway (though not very well) on just one boiler and one turbine.

The fear of an Admiral’s Inspection by guys like ADM Hyman Rickover is no longer a threat. More corners are cut nowadays.
