This is all I could find:

The short ton is a unit of mass equal to 2,000 lb

The long ton is 2,240 lb
It has some limited use in the US, most commonly in measuring the
displacementof ships, and was the unit prescribed for warships
(e.g., battleships limited to 35,000 tons) in the international
agreements between the World Wars
