My understanding is that both cross-sectional and longitudinal hull strengths should be greater than .5 for light units. You'll still get a hull strength warning, though.

I thought cross-sectional hull strength only. I've noticed with my destroyers that the longitudinal hull strength is higher than cross-sectional hull strength (due to raising the freeboard to avoid the 'poor seaboat' warning) so there is no need to worry about the longitudinal hull strength.
As long as there is only a "Caution: Hull subject to strain in open-sea" warning (and not a "design failure" warning) and the cross-sectional hull strength is 0.5 or higher, you're okay.
