This means that all the length (L) dimensions of the real ship are divided by the same factor, the scale factor. The designers of Port Revel chose a scale (S) of 1:25, so: S (L) = 25 (smaller, hence distance is 25 times less) In this similitude, the proportions are kept (the ratios between the various dimensions of the ship are identical).
