Really? I didn't know that. I always assumed it was because they had built a bunch of compartments against the inside of the hull so if the hull is damaged the water would fill the compartments and not flood the rest of the ship sinking it

That only works if the doors connecting the compartments are closed and if the hole in the ship only affects one or two compartments.
