Definition / notes:	Partial collective protection by the formation of a gas citadel between decks. This space prior to the gas attack can be occupied by personnel performing their normal duties; on an attack becoming imminent it can be closed down quickly, so reducing the necessity for personnel to put on their respirators. The gas citadel is employed primarily as a defensive measure in harbour; in action it will probably be perforated by shell fire and in any case not frequented by many personnel.
