steel plating
Ship hull covering
Steel plating is sheets or panels of steel attached to a surface for protection or reinforcement.
Ships have steel plating on their hulls; military vehicles use it as armor.
The term can describe either the material itself or the process of applying it: The steel plating on the battleship was six inches thick.
