[Letter dated June 30, 1914, from Hiraga to Inspector General Yamamoto: matter of Hiei armor], and others
- AI summary (β)
- A letter and investigation record concerning the “matter of distortion in the armor” of the warship Hiei, particularly the “curving” and “twisting” of the armor when the belt armor was fitted, and differences from the templates. Included in materials from Hiraga to Inspector General Yamamoto dated June 30, 1914. The main text is a statement by the Shipbuilding Workshop, Shipbuilding Department, Yokosuka Naval Arsenal; while noting that the maximum distortion is unknown because inspections were not carried out individually at the time, it refers to misalignment in the central part of the port side, trimming of backing material and adjustments to the fitting of the forward and aft armor, and the results of template checks for ten plates in March of the same year. Keywords: Hiei, armor, belt armor, curving, twisting, template, Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, Shipbuilding Department, Hiraga, Inspector General YamamotoAuto-generated by Azure OpenAI gpt-5.5 from OCR text (which may contain errors) and image captions.
