It's because they don't have the single failure points of traditional ships. In a normal galley design, crumpling it anywhere along the side of the ship will make it take on water and sink.Is that because they're quite light? I'd think a rammer would tend to push them back rather than break them.
We have a gentler failure mode. Crumple one of our hulls, and we're crippled, not sunk. We can hobble home.
