I mean that when the Britannic sunk(i'm pretty sure it was the Britannic) it suffered exactly the kind of accident that the Titanic was built to prevent

Surely the White Star line could have done more to make the Brittanic, Olympic saver after the Titanic had sunk?

They did they called the olympic back in for major work & changed the plans on Brittanic, they also changed the davits & added more boats. Although the brittanic sanc it was a whole los safer hence less people died. The only reason is sank so quickly was because the watertight doors & a lot of portholes were left open. (and come on how many ships would survive a torpedo anyway!)

I'm not certain, but I think it did, based on the records of U-boat activity in the area.

That there were fewer people on the ship to begin with might've helped with that.

Well, many have. From warships right to small merchant marine ships. It's happened.
