I was expecting a lower mast height and deeper draft for heavy ladden ships.

During a set of tests with a large oiler imported from SHIV, I noticed that she was sitting lower on the sea level when she had fuel as internal cargo than when she was empty... but it was long ago, so I could as well be wrong on that.

But let's say MataHari managed to survive WWI, and got her hands on secret documents concerning Allied ships. Then she made a Nobel Price winner french engineer her lover, and convinced him to create a more accurate optic device for the KriegsMarine. I'm so romantic ...  |
