Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
329 lbs / 149 Kg = 8.1 x 4.3 " / 110 mm shells or 0.2 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.30
Metacentric height 1.2 ft / 0.4 m
Roll period: 10.8 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 51 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.51
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.01
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.455
Length to Beam Ratio: 11.25 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 17.75 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 66 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 20.00 ft / 6.10 m
- Forecastle (20 %): 12.42 ft / 3.79 m
- Mid (50 %): 12.42 ft / 3.79 m
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 12.42 ft / 3.79 m
- Stern: 12.42 ft / 3.79 m
- Average freeboard: 13.03 ft / 3.97 m
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 183.2 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 93.6 %
Waterplane Area: 5,649 Square feet or 525 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 58 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 31 lbs/sq ft or 150 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.51
- Longitudinal: 1.89
- Overall: 0.58
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is adequate
While now considered unsuitable for frontline service, they are useful escorts. They would also be useful for any fledgeling Navies in need of destroyers. A total of 15 ships being avaliable.
would any interested party please contact they're local Nordmarkian Naval Attache.
