Is it true that type 1936 destroyers were top heavy and would cap size in rough waters?
They were doing better than their predecessors, in a large part because the issues with the predecessors were spotted and understood. Also, there’s a slight difference between “there is a risk of capsizing which the navy recognised and accounted for in their use of the asset” and “they capsized on a regular basis”.
For example, one could ensure there is always some fuel left in the tanks to keep a greater weight at the bottom of the ship (at the cost of range) or pump in some sea water into the tanks for the same purpose (at the cost of needing to deal with that come refuelling time). Both are not ideal but they would reduce the risk of a capsize significantly.
