Length overall vs. waterline length.

edit

Seeing as how the stern is vertical, and the bow is just about the same, how is it possible that the Takao's overall length is over 40' longer than it's waterline length? I can't believe that that bow juts out 40ft over the water. It isn't possible. I'm guessing that the measurement given as waterline is actually Length between perpendiculars or some such thing..45Colt 18:29, 24 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by .45Colt (talkcontribs)
