Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
24,558 lbs / 11,139 Kg = 15,889.5 x 1.5 " / 37 mm shells or 3.3 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.12
Metacentric height 3.7 ft / 1.1 m
Roll period: 20.9 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 67 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.33

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.565
Length to Beam Ratio: 6.84 : 1

- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 130.7 %
Waterplane Area: 32,204 Square feet or 2,992 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 141 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 123 lbs/sq ft or 601 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 1.20
- Longitudinal: 0.94
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily

Notes;
1. Ocean liner to be razed to its hull and converted into an naval aviation training ship
2. After conversion; expected to have two lifts and hanger capacity for up to forty aircraft-normaly twenty carried.
3. Bridge island and funnel offset out of hull to maximize deck run

There is the training carrier. Who wants to convert her from the ocean liner?
