the main reason for the long beach's huge structure was it's radar. the entire structure consists of that radar, the bridge on top of it, and to counter the topweight a lot of aluminium was used in the construction
but, if my quick looktrough here is correct, it is not so much the ships design (which is flawed, but not that bad...) but the thing 'why would brazil have this?'
Right, right! I forgot about that. But IIRC the weight of the reactor itself helped with topweight.
