Displacement
According to this reference cited in the article, the displacement of the PSC is 33,000 long tons (34,000 t). This does not seem to be in line with the 460 feet (140.2 m) length and 88 feet (26.8 m) beam, as the resulting draught should be around 50 feet (15.2 m) which is unrealistically large. I wonder if it's a typo in the original source? Tupsumato (talk) 05:37, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- The United States Naval Institute New blog article confirms that the heavy PSC will have a full-load displacement of 33,000 long tons, and the USNI News is an authoritative source.Marcd30319 (talk) 21:25, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
- Agree on the reliability, but I'm still puzzled by the physical impossibility. Tupsumato (talk) 10:41, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
