Even if the decapping plate didn't work as intended could that cause the rounds to tumble which would reduce it's effective to not much against 11 inches of armour even if the void space is small. Also from your armour video I might have mis remembered but wasn't the Italian armour good for battleships so let's say 3 inches does nothing at all that 11inch would be the equivalent to a very inefficient American 12 and a bit inch belt on the North Carolina's, Iowa's and South Dekota's?

@michaelkovacic2608 I have to agree when you look at all other battleships armour at the time, the American one is quite thin and there battleship armour was not the best in armour penetrative per inch, it was one of the worst.

There are ways that use the wind as assistance in the modern day Flettner rotors and Kite sails is something you could look into.
