    That’s a 2.25 inch steel belt of armor that got turned into swiss cheese. Apparently she was sunk in 1944 by a u-boat.

    Are those welded patches, just above the waterline?

    We had an RG-31 my last go around like this. Straight outta South Africa, that one. Holes throughout the under carriage and armor. EFPs are no joke. Called it Swiss Cheese. Strange tour.
