So, if Hood had had a bulbous bow, not only would she have been even faster, but the reduction in bow-wave amplitude might well've placed the lower edge of her belt low enough below the surface (even at the trough of the wave) to defeat the type of barely-diving hit that sank her.

29:37 - Couldn't the dynamics of a shell striking the 7-inch belt potentially change its angle of flight (especially given that it would only need to be deflected a few degrees further down in order to strike the sloped portion of the deck armor, and that it would then have struck the latter nearly face-on)?
