Oh by the way (and this might be a stretch), but it is possible that the armpit-and-sideboob combination  may be inspired by the all or nothing armor scheme that would be prevalent for most US battleships, starting with the Nevada. That is, only key spaces (including engine rooms and most of the ship's citadel) would be fully protected while other less significant blocks would have less or almost no armor. Probably the same goes for Iowa in-game with her skimpy outfit, although the doctrine may be somewhat different with Nelson (who also adopted a variation of the armour concept in the war).
