Modern survivability is discussed through electronic protection, active defenses, and internal subdivision. A large ship still requires ways to avoid attacks and limit damage after a hit. Operating hundreds of miles from shore offers a different targeting problem from repeatedly using a small set of ports and routes in the Black Sea. Geography therefore affects how readily an opponent can locate and engage a ship. The review also questions whether the proposed missile-cell count is large enough for a hull of the battleship's projected size.

Survivability depends on defenses and operating geography
Active defenses and subdivision are considered alongside the difference between open-ocean maneuver and constrained operations near a coast.
