They may have started from the same sized hulls, but their changes have multiplied from that start. First, in the author's 2nd sentence he specifically describes the Prussian vessel as "Bigger" and "Squarer" and the French vessel as "elegant" and "smaller". Second, the stack arrangement is completely different and implies a completely different internal schematic. Third, walking the decks of the Prussian vessel would be a fine and healthy experience, walking the deck of the Frog boat would be similar to playing Polish Roulette. Fourth, Anton has all but admitted that he is going to throw a flying bridge on the Frog which will further the visual differentiation. Notice I am leaving out the color scheme difference as too obvious to actually include in this numbered list of differences. They are as "twined" as Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
