How accurate are the named-vessel models supposed to be in terms of their size and draft?

The reason I am asking is that the model for the NCV Hiryu has a much deeper draft than the real vessel and may need to be edited to sit higher in the water and have its texture changed to lower the waterline. The wiki states she had a draft of 7.8m but the Blender model measures at 9.1m which is somewhat deeper than the other CVs I have tackled so far.

In addition the NCV Akagi had a real draft of 8.7m but the Blender model measures shallower at 7.8. No paint job would be needed on that one as it already sits with the paint line at or below the water.

The NCV Enterprise was supposed to sit at 7.9m but the Blender model is slightly shallower at 7.1m.

At the end of the day is it more important just for the game stats to be correct as per the model so we can hit the damned things or are they supposed to be fairly accurate tributes to the actual vessels?
