Cross sections of the battleships Tirpitz and HMS King George V, showing the arrangements of armour and underwater protection. The percentages beside the Tirpitz drawing illustrates the percentage of various parts of the ship exposed to enemy fire at 22000 yds range. The area shown by the diagonal lines, shows the parts of the ship which are not protected by the armoured citadel. The details of Tirpitz seem correct, but should be used with caution as the Royal Navy created the drawing from wartime intelligence sources.
