Famous warships or ships that are widely publicized usually have major accidents and end in misfortune. In fact, this is easy to explain. There are three main reasons: First, widely publicized warships or other ships are often pioneers in the same type, while products that explore the limits of engineering are often experimental in nature and have unstable performance. Lots of potential risks. For example, in the field of nuclear submarines, the American Thresher was the first of its class and the most advanced nuclear submarine in the world. It was known as the "foolproof submarine" and was used for multiple forces during the 300-meter diving experiment. The reason was that it was directly crushed on the sea bed.
Another example is the famous Titanic, the largest cruise ship at the time. Due to multiple factors including personnel reasons and engineering reasons, it was sunk in the North Atlantic Ocean, which promoted a series of improvements in the navigation profession. and progress. Another example is Sweden's Vasa, the most luxurious warship of the year. As Sweden's first double-decker gun deck warship, its maiden voyage took less than ten minutes and was less than two nautical miles from the port. It sank due to its excessive center of gravity. There is also the famous "most beautiful flower" the British Mary Rose, as the first warship capable of broadside salvo. Because the gun opening on the bottom deck was too low, it was capsized and sank into the sea shortly after the sortie. The second reason is that the widely publicized warships are often the first of their type. After being verified by their own technology, they often provide very good information for future generations to improve warships of the same type and are easily overtaken by future generations.
The most obvious examples are the British Navy's Hood (lower armor is too thin), the Qing Navy's Zhenyuan and Dingyuan (no anti-torpedo compartments), and the Lexington (not damaged) tube to leave space), Sheffield (aluminum superstructure), etc. The common feature of these warships is that they were sunk by the enemy, and due to the exposed flaws, they had poor damage control and insufficient survivability. Third, and the most important reason is that after being widely publicized, they will often be targeted as the primary target of local attacks, and they will even be sunk at all costs. For example, China's Zhenyuan and Dingyuan, Japan's Yamato Musashi, Germany's Bismarck and Tirpitz, Spain's Santa Trinidad, etc. are regarded as important means of destroying enemy morale and placed much higher than their actual military capabilities. Meaning strikes priority.
