would have thought a modern warship would be able to sustain a heavy hit
like it took without being so seriously damaged.

The days of the armor clad dreadnought are gone. Ships are light and
fast. Like Richard says, this was a sports car getting hit by a semi.
It is amazing it did not sustain more damage.
There was still something strange going on here to have this kind of
crash. The plot I saw showed some unusual maneuvers but it was unclear
if that was before or after the accident.

I still think there was a junior officer who had the conn on the bridge
and he/she screwed up. The Navy has already acknowledged "human error".
