Have museum ships been completely surveyed with computerized laser measurement systems?
Short answerSome British ships had been considered or surveyed, but the answer could not confirm a complete LiDAR survey in every case.
NotesEvidence for complete computerized laser surveys of museum ships is uneven. American examples remain uncertain, but detailed work had been considered for Warrior and Belfast. Some form of survey had been carried out for Victory, although the method could not be confirmed as LiDAR. That distinction matters because evidence of measurement is not the same as proof of a complete laser-derived model. Digital documentation is a useful preservation tool, but the technical claim remains appropriately qualified.
