Giving these ships an artificially and unrealistically shallow draft makes them way more vulnerable than they should be.
The worst part is that, since apparently draft is a completely arbitrary decission, it’s never deemed to be a bug, so it can never be addressed.
Why? Just why?
Three examples I can think of right off the bat are Barham, USS Tennessee and Fuso.

In Fuso’s case, the draft is right on the hangar but not in battle… and that’s “not a bug” either:
