I wrote "very little protection", not "no protection". There's a
difference.

While the armour will absorb some of the P-torp damage the ship will
start 
taking threshold checks before it loses all its armour if hit by 
concentrated P-torp fire which reduces the armour's effectiveness
(though 
not nearly as much as K-guns would!). The ship's main line of defence is

its screens, however - and they are completely powerless against
P-torps.
