Fuel, ammunition & stores: 399 tons, 24,6%
Miscellaneous weights: 300 tons, 18,5%

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
952 lbs / 432 Kg = 27,0 x 4,1 " / 105 mm shells or 0,6 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,07
Metacentric height 1,1 ft / 0,3 m
Roll period: 13,3 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 2 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,00
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0,00

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0,400
Length to Beam Ratio: 6,70 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 14,83 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 59 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 25,00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0,00 ft / 0,00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 0,98 ft / 0,30 m
- Forecastle (20%): 0,33 ft / 0,10 m
- Mid (50%): 0,33 ft / 0,10 m
- Quarterdeck (15%): 0,33 ft / 0,10 m
- Stern: 0,33 ft / 0,10 m
- Average freeboard: 0,38 ft / 0,12 m
Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 90,3%
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 2,2%
Waterplane Area: 4.439 Square feet or 412 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 213%
Structure weight / hull surface area: 101 lbs/sq ft or 494 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 2,25
- Longitudinal: 2,93
- Overall: 2,31
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is adequate
Room for accommodation and workspaces is extremely poor
Ship has quick, lively roll, not a steady gun platform
Caution: Lacks seaworthiness - very limited seakeeping ability

Diving Depth: 80m
Emergency Depth: 125m
Crushing Depth: 200m
