The British, Neutral, and American versions of each ship may have separate drafts. I gave some neutral vessels a shallower draft so that their hull lettering and flags would be easier to see. Plus, they would have operated under peacetime load limits, as opposed to the British MOWT's wartime emergency load line limits (which allowed UK vessels to carry more cargo than normal and, thus, caused them to be deeper in the water than other countries' ships).
