Beam

@Sturmvogel 66: the beam for Musashi is 2 meters less than that of the Yamato and Yamato-class pages. Can you comfirm if that's just a typo? Thanks - wolf 04:15, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Musashi figure is for the waterline beam, the other figures are for the maximum beam. I badly need to overhaul the Yamato and class articles.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:02, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, got it. Thanks for the reply. - wolf 22:33, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
