Hee hee! Actually, it might just be that you are used to looking at age-of-sail ships, as they were much "beamier" (that's actually a word, even though spellcheck disagrees). As for DW though, pretty much all of the designs are pretty "stubby," with a length to beam ratio that is a bit lower than what was ultimately seen in WW II, though it is a little more appropriate for some real-world Victorian era ships (this is actually a topic I plan on covering in a future "DW vs Real Life" blog post
). Also, part of the problem is that the ships being used in the scenario were all cruisers and destroyers; these ships purposely had a very high length-to-beam ratio to facilitate high speeds.
