Move the "test" node to the top of mast and again note the "y" value.
Determine the total number of units from keel to mast top and multiply by 10 to get the length in meters
Open the .sim file with S3D and note the "draught" under unit_ship/obj_hydro/Surfaced and "subtract" the value you generated in the last step.
I have conducted a number of different test today to "validate" the mast height are correct.
During testing I noted that the values for mast height and ship length for ships for OM will have to be redone as they are inaccurate. I will start working on this shortly

Had most of it done already. Had a small setback the other day when my original formula for mast height didn't work out, but I got it working now and have done a number of test to confirm that I'm getting the right answer. The ships from MFM were the ones that had the most problems.
I've already taken care of your other request, except for the one for markings on the ship images, I just don't have time. All the mast heights are from the tallest mast,except for the HMS Furious, which will be the flight deck
