Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
47,139 lbs / 21,382 Kg = 34.4 x 14.0 " / 356 mm shells or 7.1 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.08
Metacentric height 5.2 ft / 1.6 m
Roll period: 18.9 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.92
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.53
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has raised forecastle, rise forward of midbreak
Block coefficient: 0.608
Length to Beam Ratio: 6.47 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 25.69 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 44 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 46
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 10.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 28.00 ft / 8.53 m
