The belt tapered from 330mm at the edge of the 64mm deck over it, to 152-127mm at the lower edge, and it was possible to reduce the low freeboard on going into action by means of water ballast tanks. 305mm guns were installed in turret with 203mm sides and 330mm barbette, 254mm in turret with 190mm sides and 292mm barbette.
