Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):

Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.06
Metacentric height 5.3 ft / 1.6 m
Roll period: 18.0 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 71 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.94
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.28

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has low forecastle, rise aft of midbreak, low quarterdeck ,
a normal bow and a cruiser stern
Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.584 / 0.592
Length to Beam Ratio: 8.57 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 29.14 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 49 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 55
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 57.00 degrees

- Average freeboard: 24.50 ft / 7.47 m
Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 86.7 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 158.9 %
Waterplane Area: 59,336 Square feet or 5,513 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 108 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 197 lbs/sq ft or 959 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.98
- Longitudinal: 1.20
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is adequate
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily

You might have a few problems with space because there are no superfiring turrets, though it should fit onto that hull.

I still have concerns over the electric propulsion.

6 shafts? Why?
