While it is a nice drawing (well done!) I still don´t buy the stats. A TDS of 2,74m buys you nothing. We are not talking depth here but height and normally a TDS should cover the hull from the bottom plating to the armored deck which is at waterplane level minimum. So with a draught of 8m she also should hae a TDS of 8m.
