Special treatment steel is a high-quality nickel-chrome steel that was used extensively as structural steel in U.S. warships of the Second World War. It was similar to Class B armor plate but was produced in thicknesses of less than 4". It provided significant splinter protection but was rarely expected to stop a direct hit from a shell.

What kind of armour did the people in the middle age wear?

At the very beginning of the Middle Ages, they wore the same armor the Romans did, or they wore the armor of the Germanic tribes, which was rather a combination of things, but largely a copy of Roman armor. As time went by, they adopted scale armor that was a combination of rings and strips of steel plate sewn to leather, called ring mail and scale armor. Later yet, they used chain mail, in which the rings interlocked, and developed plate armor, in which the pieces of steel plate conformed to larger parts of the body.
