I really thought your comment was going to be a reference to this sketch. “The front fell off” is...not something one expects to be a realistic scenario.

The sketch is in reference to a real ship https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirki_(tanker) in which the bow split after it caught fire.

I padded it out with a bit more substance, but the first revision of my comment was just a reference to that sketch. Remembering the sketch reminded me of the LCS-2 hull issue.
