By request here is a picture of the new Straw Hat's ship.

So, um... Tomon and I tried to use this image (or an older version of it anyway) as a visual cue to help us design the ship.  UM... neither of us are artists, so I basically photo-cropped everything here LOL.  

I apologize for anyone who likes old WW2 ships, and who think they can draw.  I can't.  The awesome Fletcher class (see Battle of Samar for proof of it's awesomeness) was the basis for this Frankenstein picture.

Mmmmm can't remember if we ever got measurements for the original Resolve... But since it was a three-mast schooner (and One Piece ships are crazy) my bet is that the Everlasting Resolve should be around the 200 feet/60 meters... too much? too little? x'D

Well the thousand sunny was at least (if not a bit more than) twice the dimensions of the Going Merry, and that was 42ft, 8in long. I don't see why a regular schooner or frigate size for og resolve (east blue marines so no need for more) can't be around the size of normal irl ones, and a safe length range I found was 135ft to 160ft long (ave frigate and ave schooner). So if Everlasting is bigger, 145ft to 170ft long isn't out of the question.

I was thinking in similar numbers for the original Resolve, but I'm not so sure about Everlasting, 'cause in the narration her size is 'half again the size of the original', so between 202,5 ft to 240 ft long using your numbers. That said, I'm making a model in SketchUp (the main reason I'm thinking about the hard numbers)... the hull was hell 💀

I was looking for that size reference; fair point. And oof, good luck with the sketch. Perhaps with east blue as ship size reference, I'd hazard a 120ish og resolve so 180ft everlasting? We gotta remember there's a limit to the adam tree wood (even supplemented by lack of multiple masts, a hollow center one, and metal). Considering Franky is 7'5", each outer square panel is that size. Let's round that to 90inches for easy math; that means the length of the ship is *about* 24 square panels long, which considering the knife shape meaning less of an drastic arc to the widest width means 25 or 26 panels down the side of the ship if that math helps ya ^^;

I'm working with 200 ft based on the size of an 'average' three-mast schooner. Here some screenshots: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/894263946645733538/894263959438389280/unknown.png https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/894263946645733538/894264026081660948/unknown.png https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/894263946645733538/894264092599148614/unknown.png

Love the second image and while the first and third are mostly okay, it's too much like actual fletcher destroyers for Eve; there's paired donut shapes for the helmroom and the crows nest observatory, and the smoke stack doubles as a giant mast with twice the width of normal marine ship masts. I imagine the general hull shape being a Fletcher but still plenty of cues from contemporary ships for the setting, such as at least having more floors on top of the stern. Possibly with the ship having more height for at least 2 or 3 floors underneath the majority of the top deck.

Oh! Also found out this info; the smallest gaff schooner was 61ft in length and the smallest frigates (corvettes) were something like 41-60ft long, with the biggest corvette being 100ft long. Meaning we might have been over shooting this entire time ^^. Stick to your 200ft long average if you wanna though. I am just pondering sizes and scales for the moment...

huh, found during my size calcs in one piece in getting ready to lay out the Everlasting Resolve that if using the One Piece Size compare vid (here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h5RIZhNdqQ ) and the going merry's length and its toy model dimensions, the thousand sunny is 139ft, 5in tall, 113ft 3.5 in long and possibly, if the ratio of length to width stays the same, 30ft 4.7 in wide. It's a neat little fact.
