The US Navy and ever boat builder I have seen state it as LOA.

While most people say it

While most people say it as overall length, LOA and LBP are the traditional shipbuilders ways of stating it. LBP is Length Between Perpendiculars. The fore and aft perpendiculars are perpendicular to the base line of the ship. They intersect the keel at the points furthest fore and aft. The LOA is usually longer than the LBP - and allows the ship to carry more weapons or cargo.
