Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
3.000 lbs / 1.361 Kg = 84,9 x 4,1 " / 105 mm shells or 1,0 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,14
Metacentric height 1,6 ft / 0,5 m
Roll period: 13,2 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,05
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1,26
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has raised forecastle, raised quarterdeck
Block coefficient: 0,500
Length to Beam Ratio: 9,21 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 19,04 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 54 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 56
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0,00 degrees
Stern overhang: 4,92 ft / 1,50 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):

Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 88,8%
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 83,5%
Waterplane Area: 9.510 Square feet or 883 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 146%
Structure weight / hull surface area: 51 lbs/sq ft or 251 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
