Armor Model
Overview
During World War II, the German naval leadership studied the experience gained, particularly the loss of the battleship Bismarck and the damage to the battleship Scharnhorst in July 1941. The conclusions drawn led to a revision of the characteristics of the under-construction H and J ships. It was required to strengthen horizontal armor while maintaining a draft of 11.5 m for operations in the shallow North Sea. The project acquired a triple bottom and more watertight compartments for protection against underwater explosions. The main caliber of future ships was also increased. Subsequently, construction for the fleet was reoriented towards submarines—no new battleships were laid down.
