Increasing the maximum possible displacement of ship types

Basically, as the title says.
Is it possible to change the maximum possible displacement of the different ship types? And if so, how would I go about it? I haven't been able to find the relevant details in the save file.
By max displacement I mean the hard cap of 3800t for Destroyers and 69000t for Carriers etc.
Thanks!

Carriers, AFAIK, are date-limited on displacement, and should unlock at 100,000t displacement.
Not sure on the DD front, but out of interest have you tried creating/modifying a tech?
The 100,000t displacement - however - is in place due to engine limitations.

All the ship classification rules are hardcoded, so the only way to change them is by hex-editing RTW3.exe.

Ah, I see. Do you know when they unlock? I've gotten to around 1970ish and am still stuck with the 69000t limit.

I had a feeling this was the case. Thank you.

Not off-hand, I tend to stop about 1950s.
