So I was watching some videos about main battle tanks, armor and their protection systems and many tanks have blowout panels. Essentially a section in the magazines that in case of an internal ammo explosion from a critical hit, the resulting energy will be directed outside the tank and not destroy the tank. Or at least permit the survivability of the crew.
Many battleships were destroyed by magazine explosions. Was there a reason why this concept was not pioneered on battleships?
