That's only logical though, Look at the Battleship Iowa and a Light
cruiser
of the same period. They might have the same percentage of mass as
armor,
but the Iowa's armor is much thicker and makes the ship more survivable.
But the Iowa is also much more expensive and would probably not be used
for
convoy escort duty.
