Asked my dad about this, because he was in the navy a long time, and it's normal, and the ship is sitting high, indicating light load, which makes sense because of the deployment circumstances.
Its sitting completely normally. It'll be ballasted to that draught.
I just wanna say that is a marvel of engineering. To make something that big and wide sitting on such a small base in water is very impressive. It's like a reverse iceberg, where 10% is under the surface and 90% above.
What's even crazier is that these ships are still pretty fast. It's cruising speed is about 20mph, with a top speed of about 35mph.
