		- Cross-sectional: 1.00
		- Longitudinal: 1.91
		- Overall: 1.06
	Adequate machinery, storage, compartmentation space
	Adequate accommodation and workspace room
	Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
	Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily

Design notes: While inferior in volume of primary fire to many contemporary battleships, her protection scheme is superior to all currently existing battleships in the world. The strength of her secondary battery is unmatched, allowing her to decimate lighter units that dare venture within  her gun range, as well as land positions, with equal ease.

All armour is harvested from old scrapped battleships, notably Yevstafiy, Andrey Pervozvannyy class battleship, as well as from wrecked battleship Poltava.

Belt 216mm-229 KC, laminated to up to 200mm of NS plates. Top of main belt attached to 70mm armour deck.
Upper belt is 203mm KC. Top of upper belt attached to 25mm splinter deck.
Weather (bomb) deck is 38mm over entire ship.
Battery deck over casemates is 76mm NS, over turrets is two laminated layers of 76mm.

Conning towers cannibalised from battleship Poltava, reinforced by 76mm NS plates from scrapped battleship Yevstafiy laminated within.
