Armoring a capital ship involved a series of choices that were based upon type, thickness and placement. Besides its massive costs, difficult decisions had to be made in the face of severe constraints posed by its incredible weight that affected both buoyancy and stability. Beginning with Battleship Nevada, the U.S. Navy made a radical change from incremental protection to "All Or Nothing" designs that remain somewhat controversial more than 100 years later.
