Tons
It seems odd to have the displacement given in tonnes, since everything else is in US units. Also does anyone still use long tons? I thought even the UK was metric these days, but nautical tradition can be stubborn. I would like to see displacements given as, for example, "9,800 t". Kendall-K1 (talk) 20:56, 18 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Displacement of that period was always in long tons. Tonnes are very close to long tons but possibly tonnes was given as that was in the source used for the data. GraemeLeggett (talk) 21:45, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
