The ships of LoGH

Hey all,

This may have been discussed only recently but since I haven't seen it and the 
fact that everything has gone quiet, I'd thought I'd bring it up now.  

Has anybody read anything about why the author (or maybe this is an anime thing 
only) has the ships built the way they are?  For example, the squarish design 
of Federation ships doesn't make sense in a 3 dimensional space battle.  The 
port and starboard sides seem to be a little exposed.  Most of the destruction
sequences I've seen so far (and granted, that's not a lot) have depicted the
ships being mutilated from the bottom or sides.

Anyway, does anybody have any comments about that.  Any correlation between 
WWII battleships and LoGH ships?

Ja na
Brent
