In looking up the lengths as listed by Sailor Steve

Wicks 314 ft; Farragut 341 ft;Somers 381 ft; Edsall 306 ft etc. etc. and their 800-900 yard turning radiuses we're still basically at 3x turning/length at flank/sea conditions give or take as some were modified with double rudders or extended rudders as the war progressed as in my previous post. Accuracy is wonderful but take it easy on yourself...we're dying to play something new!

set'm all at 2.88% of their length at 28.77 knots

and get on with it.

Just make every escort skipper as astute and nasty as ...Johnny Walker! YEAH!
