Access to a database does not equal thorough research. I'm in the military, but don't know anything about ship hull construction...
Beef up your research - you'll find that the greatest risk of hypothermia is in relatively 'warm' weather when people are tempted to wear too little. A thin layer of sweat does its job a little too well and the body temp drops like a rock. Pretty simple, my friend.
