South Dakota's Guadalcanal failure as an engineering chain

South Dakota had the cascade failure at Guadalcanal, right?

Yes, South Dakota is identified with the electrical breaker failure, but explaining its sequence would require checking the design against the ship as built.

USS South Dakota is identified as the battleship with electrical breaker trouble at Guadalcanal. A participant would use a time-travel visit to compare her design drawings with the ship as actually built. The proposed engineering study would ask how the reported cascade of failures became possible. The participant explicitly allows that the apparent design problem may come from reading history backwards, so the exchange leaves the cause open for investigation.
