Tonnage[edit]

Despite what uboat.net says, British Registered Tons is not a measure of displacement, but rather (I believe) how gross registered tons were measured under the British method. (There were differing methods of measuring grt.) It may take further inquiry to determine how rating authorities (likely Lloyd's) rated her tonnage, and if the RN rated her displacement once they commissioned her into the service.
