Someone posted a list some time ago but I can't up load it to my file sharing account, pics only.

You can find ship lengths in you "Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Sea" directory. There you'll find a folder for every ship in the game. Find the ship you're looking for (can be hard sometimes), open the folder, and open the .cfg file you find there. The .cfg will give the length in meters.
For instance, if I wanted the length of the Yamato, I'd go to "Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Sea\NBB_Yamato," open "NBB_Yamato.cfg," and I could see that the Yamato has a length of 263 meters.
Mods may mess with this, however; some mods will change ship models so that ships may not match the length shown in those files anymore.
Also, don't edit anything in those files unless you know exactly what you're doing.
Edit: As to how the periscope lines match up with actual ship length/height, I don't think anyone knows. It's dependent on your zoom level and the AOB you're viewing the target from (for length). If I use length it's just to get a speed calculation.
