I has asked a question....
Ah; you mean about Displacement? Quite overlooked that.
OK; here goes:
Light Displacement: is just the weight of the Warship as it is just the Steel used in its construction with all its fixed fittings and appliances w/out crew, their effects, stores and provisions, fuel and ammo.
Standard Displacement: came into vogue by a Naval Treaty in the 1920s (between the wars, and it was a sore point for Nazi Germany who mis-represented their figures when they re-armed pre WW2 to construct their Warships) SD- wt of ship (and fittings and appliances) +Crew+ stores+ammo+any other things to be fully operational. But does not include the fuel. Its technical in its usage.
Full Load Displacement: displacement of the Warship as readied to go to combat in all respects. In case of the Carrier, will include the wight of the aircraft and all their eqpt and ammo as well as their fuel etc.
