Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
521 lbs / 236 Kg = 14,7 x 4,1 " / 105 mm shells or 0,3 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,25
Metacentric height 1,0 ft / 0,3 m
Roll period: 10,9 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,35
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1,00
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0,600
Length to Beam Ratio: 8,50 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 14,94 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 54 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 70
