@Linerkiller-

Ok got some REALLY DETAILED info on the actual Ditmarschen herself...

~Her DISPLACEMENT was infact 8820t (long tons)
~Her CAPACITY was 20858t (GRT)

...There's ALOT of info about her as the USS Conecuh. The Dithmarschen was captured by the Royal Navy on May 9, 1945. Renamed to HMS Southmark, she was in RN service for such a short time, that there's hardly any record of the HMS Southmark. She was handed over to the Americans 6 months later on January 15, 1945 as the USS Dithmarschen where she was eventually renamed USS Conecuh (AOR-110) and entered service as a Fleet Tender/Oiler in the USN Auxiliary.

...In any case, I think I will be leaving her at 21K Tons (Sorry in advance to all the 'Tonnage-mongers' out there ...myself included ) and the files should be ready soon!
