With no torpedo bulges and a 32mm plate protecting the 37mm torpedo citadel bulkhead, the Incomparable has the worst torpedo protection in high tier Battleships, even most heavy cruisers have a larger reduction in torpedo damage than Incomparable’s 14%. For the ships that can not penetrate Incomparable’s belt or 51mm deck, the superstructure is a standard 19mm, overall making Incomparable an easy ship to damage. Incomparable’s citadel, which sits above the waterline is lightly protected by a 127mm turtleback armor layout. Above the main belt is a lighter 152mm and 102mm belt allowing for smaller armaments to penetrate and deal damage. Incomparable’s heaviest armor belt extends slightly above the waterline, but is only a light 279mm. Overmatch is somewhat mitigated by the fore and aft end armor belts which feature 102mm plates and an additional 127mm plate on the bow.

Her intended speed would be 35 knots, and the engine space needed would make her a massive ship, dwarfing all others in the Royal Navy. It was estimated Incomparable’s life span to be about 10 years and her design to be quickly surpassed. She was designed to carry 20in guns, surpassing the problematic 18in guns of the Courageous class. The design never had a realistic chance of materializing, and was flawed from the start.
