Admiral Evans supports the critic that the armor belt was too low. The report remains unpublished as Reuterdahl who began the inquiry notes secrecy. He says notes by the fleet commander in the Pacific and by the General Board, not presented to the Naval Committee, would prevent whitewashing of the fleet’s conduct.

Naval reform memo echoes through Atlantic press
A heavy dispatch from New York and London reports Admiral Evans criticizing low armor belts on battleships, aligning with Henry Reuterdahl’s McClure's argument. The piece notes public notes to Senate Naval Affairs and old Navy board recommendations, while a Boston meeting includes unrelated political actions.
Protests Against Taft Highlight Armor Belt Policy
The General Board reports to the Secretary of the Navy that waterline armor should enclose full load displacement for protection at that draft. It notes belts are awash or submerged at full load on commissioned battleships and urges removal of nonessential material to raise the belts. The 1907 findings emphasize belt placement over normal displacement in armor distribution.
