Miscellaneous weights: 180 tons, 5.5 %

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
1,144 lbs / 519 Kg = 32.4 x 4.1 " / 105 mm shells or 0.5 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.29
Metacentric height 2.6 ft / 0.8 m
Roll period: 12.4 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.24
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.01

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.470
Length to Beam Ratio: 10.00 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 21.81 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 62 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 70
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 20.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 3.28 ft / 1.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 24.61 ft / 7.50 m
- Forecastle (26 %): 17.06 ft / 5.20 m
- Mid (50 %): 17.06 ft / 5.20 m
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 17.06 ft / 5.20 m
- Stern: 18.04 ft / 5.50 m
- Average freeboard: 17.92 ft / 5.46 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 166.5 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 220.9 %
Waterplane Area: 14,681 Square feet or 1,364 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 89 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 40 lbs/sq ft or 197 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.50
- Longitudinal: 0.99
- Overall: 0.53
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform

Notes:
Twin 105mm semiautomatic DP mounts simmed as triples
