Quite so.

In vessels with water tight compartments, survive-ability generally refers to a number of major compartments which can be flooded and to what degree. If dealing with those unfortunate situations, decisions may be made to flood adjacent or opposite compartments to improve stability up to, of course, the limit of survive-ability.

As has been pointed out earlier, many times the crew becomes the limiting factor in survive-ability.
