@ DR: Ok, I thought all ships went by displacement tonnage. So maybe the merchants were going by cargo tonnage, and were of similar sizes to todays ships, but just a different yard stick?

@ V: Ok... so what her tonnage? And I bet one good shot in the right place my light her up pretty good. Course, if she was running with just ballast, you may not have enough eels...... ANd wait a second.... thats 330m? That's what's considered a super tanker right? Bout the same length as a carrier? OK, it must have been my perspective I saw the Nogat at, cause in no way was I placing her as 1/3 - 1/2 the length of a carrier, or any big ship.
