Standard displacement versus a fully loaded Algérie

Algérie's displacement varied across three loading conditions: 10,160 tons standard, 10,950 tons normal, and 13,677 tons fully loaded. The cruiser measured 186.2 metres overall and roughly 180 metres between perpendiculars. These figures show how much larger the operational ship could be than the treaty-era standard-displacement label suggests. They also set the scale for the machinery discussion that follows.
