Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
105,746 lbs / 47,966 Kg = 979.1 x 6 " / 152 mm shells or 21.0 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.38
Metacentric height 5.5 ft / 1.7 m
Roll period: 13.1 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 69 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.38

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.600
Length to Beam Ratio: 5.67 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 20.32 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 48 %
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: 14.24 ft / 4.34 m
- Forecastle (20 %): 14.24 ft / 4.34 m
- Mid (50 %): 14.24 ft / 4.34 m
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 14.24 ft / 4.34 m
- Stern: 14.24 ft / 4.34 m
- Average freeboard: 14.24 ft / 4.34 m
Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 12.7 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 93.5 %
Waterplane Area: 22,004 Square feet or 2,044 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 774 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 347 lbs/sq ft or 1,694 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 3.74
- Longitudinal: 6.65
- Overall: 3.96
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is adequate
Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily

Can carry up to 40 aircraft, but normally operates no more than 24.

Does it make sense to re-use such an old hull again?

In an ideal world, no. In a world where there's a limited budget for this sort of thing, possibly. It's a proposal, by no means set in stone at this point.
