It seems like it would be extremely simple to set up a compact airbag system on a ship that would essentially make it impossible to sink even with a massive hull breach. It seems like this could be done easily on small boats to large ships and everything in between. Any ideas why something like this isn't being used? I would have a hard time believing I'm the first person to think of this. They even use large inflatable air bags to raise sunken ships.

The ship is already full of air. Ships are not vacuum chambers.

Because the water rushing in takes the place of the air
