Turret Cutaway Drawing by Frank Garie courtesy of Bob Nicholls
The turret armour is 10 inches by the ports, and 9 inches elsewhere, which is secured by means of bolts and nuts to an oak backing from 11 inches to 9 inches thick. The backing is secured to upright angle-irons round the turret. An inner lining is formed of ⅜-iron with a space of 10 inches from the backing, to prevent splinters from being driven into the turret when struck by a projectile.
| Diameter of turret outside, 26 ft. 6 in. Diameter of turret inside, 21 ft. 5 in. Height outside the flaps, 5 ft. 5.5 in. Height inside from deck to crown, 8 ft. 8.5 in. |
