But what were the thicknesses for South Dakota ? I thought at least one deck was 120mm thick single sheet ? Actually not. BB-49 is WWI era battleship with 12x16" C50 guns. Its deck "armour" was of...

On the "NAGATO Frame 77" image, Armor Code "P", the narrow anti-diving-projectile add-on to the top portion of the vertical inner holding bulkhead of the anti-torpedo side system is listed as "VH"...

HT steel is only about 80-85% as resistant as WWII US Navy homogeneous STS armor. Being generous and using the 85% level, this means that the 26mm HT = 22.1mm (0.87") STS, the 69mm HT = 58.7mm...

Now that I am home I sent an e-mail and an attachment to Tony and asked for his help to post the original documents. I am not sure how well this will turn out. I also checked Isibishi and the plate in...
