Using the formula provided for crush depth, I can't get anywhere close to 330 yards without using force fields! Using the formula of dDR * 150 / (hull length in feet) = Crush Depth, I can't begin to approach 330 yards, or any reasonable crush depth at all. I'm not sure what the mistake is, but I'm pretty sure there is one. Can someone who knows more about this crunchy stuff help me?
Should be in 100s of feet, not feet!

(Divided by 10 instead of multiplying by 10 when converting dDR to DR.)
