Hello gap,
When I tested the Mast Height values with TWoS mod (16:9), I was getting erroneous results (ex. 11% error for the C2-S-B1 Merchant).
To get an accurate result, the graticule scale on the periscope must be calibrated with the Cameras.cam AngularAngle.
So I redrew the graticules for a more precise scale, and by try-and-error, found the AngularAngle.
I then manually measured each ship's Mast Height, Length, Width with the new graticule in Test SingleMissions.

Nice job

Ex 1:
DDType34 Class and DDType36N Class both have the same 3D Model: NDD_Type34A.
The Mast Height is listed at 26.6m and 26.8m respectively.
But both were manually measured at 25.8m in a Test SingleMission.

Mast height of the Type 34 Class Destroyer is exactly 26.7713 m, measured in a 3D program
Anyway I doubt that this level of precision would increase in-game hit ratio significantly. For my standards, using 26 or 27 m (without decimals) as recognition manual entry would be okay.

They were all measured exactly at 48.6m.

48.72424 m exactly. This time you got closer. Again, for me any integer between 48 and 50 would be fairly acceptable.

Yep, you are correct. If you look into each ship unit's unit_Ship controller (in sim file) draft set there is relative to unit's 3D mesh.

I don't think variable water density is simulated in game, but internal cargo might have an effect on draft. External cargo does nothing indedd: it is there just for eye candy.
