Ok, after a little tweaking, it's going to be one of these two that gets built..........
Ballot papers at the ready........

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
2,261 lbs / 1,026 Kg = 19.9 x 6.1 " / 155 mm shells or 0.7 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.04
Metacentric height 1.6 ft / 0.5 m
Roll period: 14.7 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.76
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.00
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
and transom stern
Block coefficient: 0.405
Length to Beam Ratio: 10.91 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 25.14 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 56 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 70
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 20.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 5.00 ft / 1.52 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 21.00 ft / 6.40 m

- Mid (50 %): 14.50 ft / 4.42 m
- Quarterdeck (18 %): 14.25 ft / 4.34 m
- Stern: 14.25 ft / 4.34 m
- Average freeboard: 15.00 ft / 4.57 m
Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 129.9 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 105.0 %
Waterplane Area: 13,532 Square feet or 1,257 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 93 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 63 lbs/sq ft or 309 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):

Caution: Hull subject to strain in open-sea
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is adequate
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
