there is nowhere on the ship where you are safe from shell hits of enemy ship, except inside the ship's armored citadel... (until you get penetrated by enemy armor piercing shell or armor piercing bomb)..

but storing the lifeboats inside the armored citadel is counter productive since this not only takes up precious space needed to store important machinery and ammo (the whole point of armored citadel is to protect these), but it also makes it INCREDIBLY difficult to deploy the lifeboats in actual emergency since u basically have to bring them out of the armored citadel first (which is deep inside the ship) through the ports, and once outside deploy it... and do all this while ppl will be frantically going about in the ship as crews do their best to keep the ship from blowing up (if you had to abandon ship, you probably suffered crippling injury and one of the worst case scenario is fire erupting because if that fire reaches the magazine... ur all dead)
