== Bouyancy and Displacement == Although termed "water", it really isn't. For the sake of FUN, atmospheric and hydrodynamic drag on Neter and Glao are orders of magnitude higher than on planet earth, and perceptive builders will also notice that their creations, and especially ships, whose physical dimensions (length, beam, draught, and block coefficient) are fairly easily measured, will be far heavier than expected. This shouldn't cause you too much trouble since the game itself remains somewhat internally consistent, but there are some situations where confusion may arise; One is when attempting to use real-world naval treaties as a basis for ship design, where one will find that attempting to build a 10'000 -"weight" cruiser will yield a vessel the size of your average houseboat. Another is when attempting to use real-world hobby tools like [http://www.springsharp.com/ Springsharp] to make general predictions regarding ships in From the Depths. For example, how deep a particular hull might sit in the water when fitted with a particular weight of equipment (engines, turrets, armour plates, etc.). Or the reverse. That is, having decided how deep you want a hull to sit in the water, you're trying to figure out how much weight you have to work into it. For these occasions, remember the number 37,5. To convert the weight of an in-game vehicle to tonnes, you divide the weight by that number. The opposite should be done to convert real-world tonnes to in-game measurements. As such, if you're keen on terminology and want your destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and so on, to not violate the Neter equivalent of the inter-war naval treaties, you'd find some of the following figures useful: * To fall under the neter equivalent of the sub-600 tonne "Unrestricted" classification, a vessel should weigh less than 22'500. * The 1'850-tonne limit for Destroyers converts to a weight of 69'375 * The 2'000-tonne "gunboat" limit converts to 75'000. Whether the 20-knot top speed, ban on torpedoes, and restriction to four guns larger than 76mm calibre (with a maximum calibre of 152mm) also applies is... debatable. * The 8'000-tonne limitation of light cruisers in 1936 corresponds to a weight of 300'000. * The 10'000-tonne general cruiser limit converts neatly to 375'000 * The 35'000-tonne battleship limit converts to 1'312'500 ** And the 45'000-tonne escalator clause corresponds to a weight of 1'687'500 And in case somebody wonders, the Yamato would be somewhere around 2'737'500, and the [[Steel Striders|Steel Striders']] Megalodon, in real world terms, sits at about 91'300 tonnes.
