Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
8,171 lbs / 3,706 Kg = 121.9 x 5.1 " / 130 mm shells or 1.1 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.11
Metacentric height 2.8 ft / 0.9 m
Roll period: 15.0 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.13
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.08
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has rise forward of midbreak
Block coefficient: 0.523
Length to Beam Ratio: 9.29 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 23.62 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 64 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 65
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 30.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 28.87 ft / 8.80 m
- Forecastle (20 %): 26.25 ft / 8.00 m
- Mid (50 %): 26.25 ft / 8.00 m (19.03 ft / 5.80 m aft of break)
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 19.03 ft / 5.80 m
- Stern: 19.03 ft / 5.80 m
- Average freeboard: 22.85 ft / 6.96 m
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 125.0 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 198.1 %
Waterplane Area: 22,795 Square feet or 2,118 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 113 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 91 lbs/sq ft or 446 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.92
- Longitudinal: 2.05
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform

Warning: Date too early for rapid fire gun - Main battery
The warning shouldn't be an issue given that the guns are newly installed (1941) - or is it? No idea.
