wow, that made my head hurt. Here all along all I thought they were for was as a target to hit when bouncing a coffee cup off the hull during mid watch.]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2018 14:32:47 +0000 http://RontiniSubmarineBBS.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4553&PID=12214&title=draft-mark#12214 http://RontiniSubmarineBBS.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4553&PID=12204&title=draft-mark#12204 Author: oldsubs

You are as close as anyone.  The numbers are 6" high and 6" apart when vertical.  But when they are painted on the curved surface of the boat they must be larger and further apart so they project properly from the surface to the vertical.  A bit of math shows that the 29's top will be just a bit more than 9" from the 30's bottom and the numerals 3 and 0 will be about 9.5 inches high.

Looking at the below photo one can see an officer with a briefcase in his left hand.  The length of his left foot is about the same distance as from the top of the numeral 5 to the bottom of the numeral 36.  If he wore a #10 shoe and it was actually 10" long then the distance between the numbers would also be 10".

Therefore, my guess is 10".

Yeah.  Could always use the center punch dimples to trace the new numbers.
