Question regarding ship's draft:
Are all ships displacing the listed draft or do they vary do to cargo? Example: a freighter listed with a draft of 8m always at 8m?

The reason I ask is that a number of torpedoes running under the keel and I'm trying to determine whether it's a deep run error with the torpedo or the ship is loaded light. There aren't any load lines or Plimsoll marks to reference.

Thanks,

BTW, I am really getting sucked in to this mod! Kind of hard to break away from
