User blog:ProudAmerican1776/Is BSC's Ship Lengths Wrong?

So I was building a warship, like I normally do and I noticed something. For one the size of the ship, 260 meters long and 40 meters wide which I already knew, but then I also noticed that the Officer and Captain models are about the size of a 6 year old child when compared to the door block. So when I looked into this, I realized the whole measuring system in BSC is actually wrong. Here's what I mean.

Each single block in BSC represents 5 meters. Whenever you add another block to this block you add another 5 meters. The door block, however, could actually be wrong. By the looks of it, and the supposed height of the Officer and Captain models, the door itself would be at least 4 1/2 meters tall. The average human is about 1.77 meters, 5 feet 10 inches, and if you have been on a ship such as the USS Midway or the USS Iowa, you will know the doors on those ships are pretty short. So with that said lets move on.

In BSC a ship could be any size, but there is a problem. How I normally designate my ships is by length and weight. A destroyer for me is about 260 meters to 300 meters in BSC, and normally weighs 60,000 + tons in game. But how be would it be in real life? Now I know this may seem like I'm glorifying myself and my ships somehow but just hear me out.

After doing some very short and simple math I found out how big my ship would be. I took my ships length, 260 meters, and divided it by 1.8 meters (1.8 meters is about 5 feet 9 1/2 inches). You want to know what I got? 144 Meters, aka the length of a frigate and/or short destroyer. Now I took a longer ship, 280 meters and divided that by 1.8, I got 155 meters, also a destroyer length, and for those of you wondering, that's about how long an Arleigh Burke Flight IIA is in real life. Now I tried one of my shorter ships, 235 meters, and it ended up being 130 meters, also frigate length.

But now I want to know what length your ships would be. Here is the equation for it, it's plain and simple.

Length in meters / 1.8 = Insert Length Here

For flying ships, this wouldn't matter, but if you still want to try it for your flying ships, be my me. If you want me to, I will post more BSC lengths compared to what they are in real life. Have a good one.
