Negative!

Draft and depth are two different things. Documenting
is all about tonnage and tonnage is a measurement of
freight carrying capacity in cubic feet. The depth is
one of the measurements of the volume of a vessel
and its ability to haul cargo. Documentation was
never really meant to be used for pleasure yachts.

Did they list a draft measurement? If not than you can assume that depth of
hull is the draft of the vessel from waterline.... which would be correct
for Alien.
