And british shpis are also pretty bad, but not to the degree of the other two. The County class only had 4.5" of armor. You know what also has 4.5" for the max on it's belt? Town class light cruiser. It has as much armor as it's own brotheren... And it's a heavy cruiser. But you have to remember, most of the weight wasn't alloted to the use of armor, it was mostly things like boilers and the weaponry complement. It's guns were pretty good, and it's AA complement was decent, and it actually carried aircraft to boot(unlike the Russians and Itlanians, which had none)
