Armored belt is 9 feet above and 6 feet below the waterline. Armored belt is 24" at the waterline, 16" below, 20" upper end.
Upper belt used to sim the weight of the teak backing. (17" at the waterline, 21" upper end and 25" below water)

(*) Armored belt is 110 feet + 76 ft transverse bulkhead. Armored belt is 9 feet above and 6 feet below the waterline. Armored belt is 24" at the waterline, 16" below, 20" upper end. Transverse bulkhead is 22" lower part and 18" upper part.
(**) Upper belt used to sim the weight of the teak backing. (17" at the waterline, 21" upper end and 25" below water)

SS include transverse bulkhead for the upper and main belts, something you can check by making the belt 0,01m long, so no real need to account for it separately.

[Walter]

Wasn't sure about how to sim an armored box like that so I thought that that was the proper way to do it (I did it with the other designs as well). If that is not necessary, it would make it a bit easier to get closer to the historical ship, make it less inflexible. :)

Edit: fixed the designs.
