I am no naval warfare expert, but I suspect the addition of bilges is not a defense against torpedoes. I have read of the addition of bulges, filled with shock absorbing materials. Is this what's meant?

The ship was struck from shells fired from the USS San Francisco. The information is listed in Hornfoscher's Neptune's Inferno, but I've found an online source that'll substitute. I will correct the pages on the other Kongo Class battlecruisers as well.
