    Well, honestly, I don't see this relationship as directly proportional to displacement. There's a design pressure that depends on full-load displacement raised to the power of 0.33, but there's no direct relationship. You have to add some summand and apply some correction factors. I'm also thinking about the bulkhead scantlings, which don't depend at all on displacement. But, well, maybe I'm wrong.

    You are wrong. Read the OP's post. He is increasing all scantlings by a multiplier

    No, @gonzo, I'm not wrong. What I'm saying is completely accurate. What's completely incorrect is what you say in this sentence.
