Don't worry! She's not breaking up. She was built to do that!
the Connector was built to ride waves, in that fashion as drawn in the picture. Unfortunately there are no pictures (that I know of, I looked on Google)

it was decided that she was bad in the ocean, so the Connector was scrapped..right after her Sea Trials

One wonders, if one section sank was there a quick-disconnect mechanism to save the other two? Thanks for sharing, Cam.
