Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
36,436 lbs / 16,527 Kg = 27.9 x 13.8 " / 350 mm shells or 5.1 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.13
Metacentric height 4.7 ft / 1.4 m
Roll period: 15.9 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 50 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.64
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.02
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
and transom stern
Block coefficient: 0.550
Length to Beam Ratio: 8.80 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 30.79 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 55 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 49
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 30.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 3.28 ft / 1.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 28.87 ft / 8.80 m
- Forecastle (20%): 21.16 ft / 6.45 m
- Mid (50%): 21.16 ft / 6.45 m
- Quarterdeck (15%): 21.16 ft / 6.45 m
- Stern: 21.16 ft / 6.45 m
- Average freeboard: 21.78 ft / 6.64 m
Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 100.1%
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 169.8%
Waterplane Area: 43,014 Square feet or 3,996 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 108%
Structure weight / hull surface area: 162 lbs/sq ft or 789 Kg/sq metre
