Miscellaneous weights: 30 tons, 3,1%

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
287 lbs / 130 Kg = 9,4 x 3,9 " / 100 mm shells or 0,2 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,22
Metacentric height 1,1 ft / 0,3 m
Roll period: 11,4 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 51 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,21
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0,79

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has raised forecastle, rise forward of midbreak, low quarterdeck
and transom stern
Block coefficient: 0,400
Length to Beam Ratio: 11,15 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 20,45 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 70 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 65
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 13,90 degrees
Stern overhang: 0,66 ft / 0,20 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 19,69 ft / 6,00 m

- Mid (37%): 16,08 ft / 4,90 m (10,17 ft / 3,10 m aft of break)
- Quarterdeck (15%): 10,17 ft / 3,10 m (10,60 ft / 3,23 m before break)
- Stern: 10,50 ft / 3,20 m
- Average freeboard: 12,69 ft / 3,87 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 184,0%
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 121,8%
Waterplane Area: 5 803 Square feet or 539 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 51%
Structure weight / hull surface area: 30 lbs/sq ft or 147 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0,52
- Longitudinal: 1,95
- Overall: 0,59
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Poor seaboat, wet and uncomfortable, reduced performance in heavy weather



I used a 1940 engine date to simulate Overloaded Engines

Are her main guns aft intentionally seperated by engine spaced?

Not sure if using 1940er engines to simulate overload is a good idea. I tend to use standard machinery as planned for the ship under normal conditions and then increase power output by 10% or whatever overload will mean. This procedure creates a hull strength below 0,5 but might give a better idea of what can be achieved by overloading your turbines...

Also...

she needs 20-30 tons miscellaneous weight, for her anti-submarine weapons and other gear destroyers need.
