Armor Layout

0 1) Turret Armor Note: 3–12 in (76–305 mm)

0 2) Belt Armor Note: 4–11 in (102–279 mm)

0 3) Deck Armor Note: .75–3 in (19–76 mm)

0 4) Superstructure Armor Note: 11 in (279 mm)

Actual Complications

15 1) Distinctive Features: RN Warship (Not Concealable; Always Noticed and Causes Major Reaction; Detectable By Commonly-Used Senses; Not Distinctive In Some Cultures)

25 2) Physical Complication: placement of her foremast behind the forward funnel put the spotting top right in the plume of hot exhaust gases, much to the detriment of her fighting ability (Very Frequently; Greatly Impairing)

15 3) Physical Complication: Poor Officer Accomodations (Very Frequently; Barely Impairing) Note: Officers were customarily housed aft, but Dreadnought reversed the old arrangement, so that the officers were closer to their action stations. This was very unpopular with the officers, not least because they were now berthed near the noisy auxiliary machinery while the turbines made the rear of the ship much quieter than they had been in earlier steamships. This arrangement lasted among the British dreadnoughts until the King George V class of 1910
