dton frame of reference

I've seen the article in freelance traveller about tonnage and some of its examples. What I would find handy is a general guideline of what that tonnage range compares to. Has anyone ever put together a chart like this? I couldn't find one so started making my own.

I'm trying to stick with WWII ships as much as I can, since a) the size-to-class relationship changes over the TLs, and b) I like ships of this era. I'm not sure what a good example from this era would replace the 50-70 ton range of modern-ish CG patrol boats (e.g. USCGC Sea Fox).




Thoughts? Suggestions?

Something like this would make it easier to create ships in a small ship universe with something to compare them to without having to do all the math conversions and 'dtons' of research online. (yeah, I'm a little lazy, usually)

There are a number of posts on the CotI that do a comparison of ships from historically wooden to modern steel based on dtons.
