according to the BOGP for the USS Arizona, there was 3" of cement between the armor belt & the hull. http://www.researcheratlarge.com/Ships/BB39/BOGP/RG19_ALPHA_Arizona_BB39_09.jpg
There's stypically heavy timber behind he armor belt, too. It provided a solid backing which could be better shaped to the less-flexible heavy armor plate. Which was better in the days of riveted ships.
I had no idea there was teak in the keel.
Eugene Rowe Surprised that the water pressure would bend and dent the torpedo blisters.

Not that much different than the "oil canning" on regular shell plating.
And the blisters were made with much wider frame spacing.
I'm still uncomfortable with the ntion of chopping off the blisters at the bottom of the boot topping. When they move the ship to whatever carnival port they are intending (selling to highest bidder) there's going to be a lot more exposure to tropical weather.
The blisters aren't that thick, and probably thinning on the inside too. Doesn't surprise me a bit. And next time you watch it, listen to the sounds when he bangs on the hull or blisters or docking keels. That sound can tell you a lot.
The patches and Splash Zone™ brought back a lot of memories; a whole lot of 'been there, done that' stuff.
