Miscellaneous weights: 20 tons, 1.9 %
Metacentric height 1.5
Remarks:
Hull space for machinery, storage & compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation & workspaces is cramped
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Excellent seaboat, comfortable and able to fight her guns in the heaviest weather
Estimated overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Relative margin of stability: 1.53
Shellfire needed to sink: 453 lbs / 205 Kg = 14.2 x 4.0 " / 102 mm shells

Relative steadiness as gun platform: 71 %
(Average = 50 %)
Relative rocking effect from firing to beam: 0.09
Relative quality as seaboat: 1.81
Hull form characteristics:
Block coefficient: 0.486
Sharpness coefficient: 0.35
Hull speed coefficient 'M': 6.87
'Natural speed' for length: 15.17 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 58 %
Trim: 39
(Maximise stabilty/flotation = 0, Maximise steadiness/seakeeping = 100)
Estimated hull characteristics & strength:
Underwater volume absorbed by magazines and engineering spaces: 182.3 %
Relative accommodation and working space: 82.3 %
(Average = 100%)
