Ships in SH3/4 are usually of this size:

Small ones: 75-80 metres (Coastal merchants)

Intermediate: 100-120 metres (Coastal tankers, ships based on german Aux Cruiser)

Medium: 140-150 metres (C2, C3, Liberty, Victory, Troop transports, etc.)

Large: 180-200 metres (British Liner/Aux Cruiser, T2 Tanker)

Huge: 220 metres (Big passenger ships)

Merchant ships are the easiest to estimate, count the number of cargo bays (Using the cranes as reference) and multiply by 1250 tons per cargo bay. You get a nice estimate of tonnage, and thus of the dimensions of a ship. Ships more or less hold constant proportions no matter their overall length, so their length increases proportionally to their size.

Small ones: (Coastal merchants)--> 2 small cargo Bays, 2500 tons

Intermediate: (Coastal tankers, ships based on german Aux Cruiser) ---> 3-4 small cargo bays, 3500-5000 tons

Medium: 140-150 metres (C2, C3, Liberty, Victory, Troop transports, etc.) ----> 5-7 cargo Bays, 6250-9000 tons

Large: 180-200 metres (British Liner/Aux Cruiser, T2 Tanker) 10.000 + tons

The golden rule is still: If it looks small, then it's small, if it looks big, then it's big
