We hear stories of sailors surviving ships sinking due to being inside compartments filled with air. Why can’t we just build ships with compartments designed to do this in case of sinking?

Ships *do* have many sealable compartments. The air won’t exactly last indefinitely, and rescue won’t come very fast. I’m not sure what exact stories you’ve been hearing, but I suspect that they’re unique circumstances, like shipwrecks near shore.
