Correct me if i am wrong but as i read the numbers Midway and PA58 have nearly the same size in dimensions other then displacement. Both classes have a beam of 34 m, Midways length at the waterline is 274m and PA 58 length is 262 m between perpendiculars (not at the waterline). Draughts is 10,5 m for Midway i found no draught number for the PA58.So if Midway had about 9 000 tons more armour then it would be a good explanation for the difference in tonnage 47 000 commisioned vs. 36000 t plannes for PA58.
