Making ship designs

I'm starting new with Traveller Ship designs (Classic and Mongoose), in CC3. I have Cosmo Cartographer add on, but I need some help a little.

For each 5x5 grid on my deck plan, how does that equate to a unit (tonnage) in my ship design?

Thanks for help on this, there are some great design on here and I'm ready to do some of my own. Thanks

    Hey through some digging found my answer:
    LBB 2 page 21 under Deck Plans:

    "Deck Plans: If the referee or the designer should feel that detailed deck plans for a ship are required, then they may be drawn up using square grid graph paper. The preferred scale for the interior should be 1.5 meters per square, with the space between decks put at about 3.0 meters. One ton of ship displacement equals approximately 14 cubic meters. Therefore one ton equals about two squares of deck space."

    Might not have been in the first edition, that's from the second, c1981.
