Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
44 893 lbs / 20 363 Kg = 32,7 x 14,0 " / 356 mm shells or 6,7 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,18
Metacentric height 6,6 ft / 2,0 m
Roll period: 17,1 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 51 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,38
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0,97

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0,726
Length to Beam Ratio: 6,09 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 25,29 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 52 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 53
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 25,00 degrees

- Average freeboard: 20,44 ft / 6,23 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 73,9 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 162,8 %
Waterplane Area: 51 646 Square feet or 4 798 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 112 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 181 lbs/sq ft or 883 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):

- Longitudinal: 1,12
- Overall: 1,00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Poor seaboat, wet and uncomfortable, reduced performance in heavy weather
