Default Ship length PDF download

I have prepared a table in pdf format for download of SH4 (stock game) IJN IMPERIAL MEASURMENTS (the word "imperial is used twice, one as an part of the the proper noun "Imperial Japanese Navy" and once as as an adjective describing "measurements" [I think I have lost my mind! What do you think?]. Getting back to business --- You can use place it on your desk and refer to it as necessary.

However, there is a serious problem using imperial measurements in RFB/RSRDC for such useful things as calculating torpedo spread with Hitman's TSAC (torpedo spread angle calculator) mod, where ship length is an indispensible element. His TSAC mod appears incompatible with RFB in that it makes the nomograph dissappear from the Navigaiton Map.) Also, without a ship's length, you cannot perform the mathematical calculations required to determine a target's aspect ratio for manual targeting.

Here is the problem. In RFB there are many more ships than in the stock game. I have a compiled a list of IJN warships totalling 53 in RFB! That is 26 more than in the stock game where my list totals 27 per the pdf. Merchants, fishing boats and passenger ships total 27 in RFB and 18 in the stock game. Assuming my count is accurate, I need ships' lengths for for approximately 45 ships to prepare a similar pdf for use in RFB. I am prepared to enter the information and prepare a table for pdf downloand while we await RFB experts to upgrade the RFB submarine sighting guide (i.e. the identification manual). I will offer it in a format similar to the one linked below if someone can provide me the data or give me a link to where I can find it that does not require me spending too much time.

I started this task with the intention of preparing a table of ships' lengths for use in RFB. I didn't realize the substantial difference between the number of IJN ships in the stock game vs. RFB, as I have not encountered to many warship s in RFB yet. So message your fellow captains and see if we can come up with the ship lengths for all of the boats in RFB, so I may prepare a table for its playeres to use.

Here is the link to the PDF!
