I've been finding sources for a drawing of the Kortenaer (1927) and I'm finding two different lengths. One length is 322' and the other is given as 321' 6". Are either of these accurate? If so, which one? Any help is appreciated

HNLMS Kortenaer is 98 meter long, that is 321,5223 meters. If you round that up, you get
321,6 feet. If you round it even more up, you get 322 feet.
if you round it down, you get 321,5 feet
322 feet is 98,1456 meters
Many websites and sources rounds up to a simple numbers. For information from international websites, like Wikipedia, they would use both measurements, where metric is usually the most accurate, due to how many countries use metrics and many books and websites are written thereafter
