wkennerley Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 I think I will try this scheme on it, it seems that a port side view is not available to I will probably mirror the pattern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Gidday, according to page 103 of my copy of "Anatomy of the Ship - USS Iowa" her main armoured belt was internal. She had 1 1/2 (38mm) inch plating only visible on that part of the hull. HTH. Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
