Re: Displaced, by gad.

I was using the units which were easiest to copy and paste and which are generally used to compare ship sizes of similar types.

Dimensions from Wikipedia:

Zumalt:

Displacement: 14,564 long tons (14,798 t)

Length: 600 ft (180 m)

Beam: 80.7 ft (24.6 m)

Draft: 27.6 ft (8.4 m)

Type 45:

Displacement: 8,000 to 8,500 t (8,400 long tons; 9,400 short tons)

Length: 152.4 m (500 ft 0 in)

Beam: 21.2 m (69 ft 7 in)

Draught: 7.4 m (24 ft 3 in)

So It's 100' longer, ~10' wider and has a ~3' deeper draught.
