Please be careful when making claim of whichever ship having better armor and what not...

a lot of the information available, do not take into account the full set of armor layout on Battleships and only list the main armor plate whereas what usually is the case with BB in WW2 was that they usually have at least several layers made of both thin and thick plates, or even several thick plates.

so before jumping the gun because a source says BB A have X amount of belt armor, and BB C have Y amount, dig deeper and check how EXACTLY is the armor distributed and what was the overall armor design and thickness in total, and what is the ship's immunity range against shell of whatever caliber you are setting it up against.
