How modern warships resist near-miss splinters

Are modern warships protected against splinters from near misses, and to what extent?

Yes. Kevlar, steel, compartments, and local machinery shielding provide protection, although no universal splinter-resistance rating is given.

Modern warships use steel and Kevlar to resist splinters. Their size and subdivision put several structural barriers between an incoming fragment and machinery deep inside the hull. A proposed 12.7 mm round ricocheting through an engine room would first have to reach that space, then avoid the large machinery occupying it. Marine gas turbines remain vulnerable to damage, but their shielding and position complicate that simple picture of an exposed engine room.
