Smoots or Snots.... I'm still a little old fashioned and prefer FEET.
Iowa Class Battlewagons {USS Iowa (BB-61), USS New Jersey (BB-62), USS Missouri (BB-63), USS Wisconsin (BB-64)} are supposed to be 887 FEET long. And as you can plainly see in this thread the Iowa (which all others are measured by) is 887 feet long.
So, why is this ship only 715 FEET long? Also it seems a bit narrower in the beam.
