115ft to 115.5ft BWL is a figure to ensure drydocking at Gladstone drydock.Davenport N.10 (a merger of two drydocks) allows for 815ft LWL and 118ft BWL, assuming the flight deck overhangs the dock's 855ft Length.Edited in Additional:-During the earlier Malta process, the then limitation of Davenport N.10 implied a carrier of765ft LBP820ft LWL845ft LFDThe 114ft BWL version was 45,000tons deep load and had 190,000shp as per a number of Malta studies.The later 1952 effort using the lines of Eagle came to LFD of 865ft, with a 815ft LWL hull. Again these studies worked on 190,000shp in the tropics.The 118ft BWL option is from the 1970 sketch designs for CVA-01 at 50,000tons.
