4:07 I'm not sure you've seen Cerberus as she is in very shallow water and half of her is out of the water most of the time. What bits of her hull you can see is in quite good shape. USS Monitor is competely different not sure why you'd mention them in the same breathe, as USS Monitor isn't even the same shape, whereas Cerberus is a very different story. Although in it's current state is better left were it is as it's already a tourist attraction

42:04 just like the 18 inch would go through the 14 inch plate as well? Seen as it's immediate enemy was the French and British 15 inch why does it matter? 14 inch amour wouldn't work against an 18 inch shell. So at least this way you have better protection against current armourment and not gone for a comprise 14 inch which is worse against 15 inch shells and was never not going to stop 18 inch shells anyway. Also to add foamed concrete is less dense but if you look at the values from the worst to the best it would be an addition of 1-3 inches of armour so not really sure your critism works out that either equivalent to 18 inches of plate or a total failure. As we have a 14+inch equivalent or a 16+inch equivalent. Which would make it either way still one of the best armoured battleships of the era.
