Read the section on Phalon multi-layered shells in FB2. They are exactly

that - armour which is able to prevent P-torps, missiles, K-guns etc.
from 
damaging the hull boxes before all armour is gone.

Of course, against the big K-guns you need very many shell layers to
stop 
the damage, but OTOH the big K-guns cost lots for relatively little
damage :-/
