White supremacists can march through DC with a confederate flag, but these hippies aren’t allowed to call for Racial Justice and Climate Solutions??

Went out with my family Friday evening aboard the Mi-Jo II to see the tall ships up close. The sun mixed with the coming storm made for some beautiful light. All taken with a Nikon Z6 and a 24-70S lens
I don't know if this is the right subreddit for this question, but I was wondering: which way do you think is the worst for a ship to go down, and why?
I'm mainly interested in the technical side of it rather than just opinions. I'd like to learn about the stability, flooding, structural failures, and other scientific or engineering reasons that make one type of sinking worse than another.

The USS Iowa (BB-61) was the lead ship of the Iowa-class battleships, commissioned by the United States Navy in February 1943. Built for speed as well as firepower, she could reach nearly 33 knots, making her one of the fastest battleships ever built. Armed with nine 16-inch guns capable of hurling shells over 20 miles, Iowa served in the Pacific during World War II, escorting carrier groups and providing shore bombardment support during key campaigns. She even carried President Franklin D. Roosevelt across the Atlantic in 1943 for the Tehran Conference.
After WWII, she was decommissioned and recommissioned multiple times, seeing action again during the Korean War and later receiving a major modernization in the 1980s that added Tomahawk cruise missiles and other updated weaponry. She was finally decommissioned for good in 1990 and, after years preserved in the reserve fleet, was transformed into a museum ship. Today she's docked in San Pedro, California, where visitors can tour her decks and learn about her nearly 50-year service history.
