I’ve been in the Yorktown before. My remembrance is that those things are damned tight inside, and don’t actually look that big on the outside to begin with, so at least it doesn’t come as a surprise. Sort of assuming they build them on the principle of, “If we’re taking on water, better to have lots of smaller spaces, than big spaces that will fill with lots of water.”
