Nice job on this Gatoclass. I removed the DWT figure as DP will always exceed DWT, and DANFS lists DP at 10,000. I see now that your DWT figure must have come from the Marine review article. That creates a dilemma, as they cannot both be correct. Perhaps an explanatory footnote? Kablammo (talk) 15:15, 6 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Nice catch, Kablammo. I think it's the displacement number that is probably wrong as, looking at comparable ships, the DP is larger. Also, I just added a source which states that the ship carried "10,500 tons of coal" on one voyage, which would appear to confirm that the displacement must have been considerably larger than 10,000.

Yes, that makes sense. Thanks. Kablammo (talk) 18:44, 6 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
