One idea that we tried once was that hits on the armour lets 1 of each 6 
points of damage from a single salvo bleed through.

All salvos must be from a single source. All beams would count as one 
salvo.  P-torps from the same ship would be a salvo for this.  ect.

I am still trying to get some numbers on this, but it would at least set 
an upper practical limit on the length of the armour row to 5 times the 
length of the hull rows. :>
