I have serious doubts about that. Considering that the KGV, for example, had very weak torpedo protection and was very small. This has been discussed extensively in many sources.
I can’t comment on the Venguard, but I strongly disagree with the KGV’s claim that it was “all good.”
could you give some sources for that?
It might be down to both vaguard and POW using a torpedo protection system that sits behind the main belt so gajin didnt model it as a bulge since it technically isnt
That can’t explain Nelson class with similar system gets anti-torpedo bulge. Every battleship that has torpedo protection system, no matter of what kind it is, gets anti-torpedo bulge in x-ray except those two and Kriegsmarine’s.

Bit bizarre as yes it would function as a dampener for the initial explosion and as a secondary effect of the anti-torpedo protection system but still, its not a torpedo bulge its still required for reserve buoyancy.
