After seeing so many great banners, I had to try one myself.
Argh no! Is that Do24? Ever since first banners started appearing I wanted to be the first to make one with this fine plane, I guess you beat me to it [:D]

"The design was deficient in internal subdivision. He [Siegfried Popper, the designer] did not believe in the anti-torpedo bulkheads favored by the Imperial German Navy and the Royal Navy, among others. Instead, he clung to the outdated concept of a centreline bulkhead or did without any longitudinal bulkheads. War experience was to show that centreline bulkheads accelerated capsizing after flooding." (Preston 62). poor design resulting in low stability and poor underwater protection.
it's a fun book to read. talks about the poor design of Bismarck, the WW1 RN "idiot" class battlecruisers (as we who played Jutland referred to them), Yamato, and Soviet Alpha clas SSNs.

HMS Invincible: sunk, magazine explosion May 31, 1916, 6 survivors, Adm. Hood commanding
HMS Hood: sunk, magazine explosion, May 24, 1941, 3 survivors, Adm. Holland commanding
2 ships related to the same man, sunk by the same means, in the same month a quarter of a century later. It's freaky.
