And it has a 358 ton surplus next quarter.

Someone devise a means of conquering Latvia on that budget.

Hull, fittings & equipment: 139 tons, 45.4%
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 26 tons, 8.6%
Miscellaneous weights: 120 tons, 39.2%

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
829 lbs / 376 Kg = 3,396.0 x 0.8 " / 20 mm shells or 0.7 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.06
Metacentric height 0.7 ft / 0.2 m
Roll period: 12.4 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 72 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.01
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.45

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.500
Length to Beam Ratio: 8.75 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 14.49 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 40 %
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: 13.00 ft / 3.96 m
- Forecastle (20%): 8.00 ft / 2.44 m
- Mid (50%): 8.00 ft / 2.44 m
- Quarterdeck (15%): 8.00 ft / 2.44 m
- Stern: 8.00 ft / 2.44 m
- Average freeboard: 8.40 ft / 2.56 m
Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 66.4%
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 142.1%
Waterplane Area: 3,358 Square feet or 312 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 187%
Structure weight / hull surface area: 28 lbs/sq ft or 137 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.95
- Longitudinal: 1.49
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily

Guaranteed to make them die from laughter

50 tons - stage
20 tons - lighting
10 tons - seating
20 tons - dressing room
20 tons - 10 Canadian comedians

Walter, why bother?

This is ShinRa after all.......
He needs NO help in the weird design category!




The help he needs costs a lot more and involves a sofa in an office!!

Where are you going to find 10 Canadian comedians?



Oh, you said CANADA. Never mind.

Range 3,000nm at 10.00 kts

...is it the plan that the Latvians die of laughter when the invasion fleet has to be towed the last ~500nm?

No, the plan is for the Latvians to laugh after we hit it a few times with some 420 mm HE shells.
