A fine view of battleship USS Iowa, seen underway in peacetime white and ocher livery. Iowa’s distinctive long, high forecastle, tall funnels, and tumblehome hull are readily apparent. Midshipman Raymond A. Spruance served aboard Iowa in 1906–07. (US Navy)

Lighter Harvey armor allowed Iowa to incorporate a 14in Harvey belt, equal in strength to the 18in nickel-steel belt originally planned for the Indianas. The weight saving was used to extend the belt to three-quarters of Iowa’s waterline. Otherwise Iowa’s armor plan generally followed the Indianas. (Public domain/Wikimedia Commons)
