Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
119 lbs / 54 Kg = 489.5 x 0.8 " / 20 mm shells or 0.2 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.00
Metacentric height 0.3 ft / 0.1 m
Roll period: 14.9 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 5 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0.01
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has rise forward of midbreak
Block coefficient: 0.400
Length to Beam Ratio: 7.50 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 12.25 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 50 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 30.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 1.00 ft / 0.30 m
- Forecastle (20 %): 1.00 ft / 0.30 m
- Mid (50 %): 1.00 ft / 0.30 m (0.00 ft / 0.00 m aft of break)
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
- Stern: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
- Average freeboard: 0.50 ft / 0.15 m
Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 128.3 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 3.1 %
Waterplane Area: 1,477 Square feet or 137 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 247 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 90 lbs/sq ft or 440 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 3.48
- Longitudinal: 3.00
- Overall: 3.11
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is extremely poor
Ship has quick, lively roll, not a steady gun platform
Caution: Lacks seaworthiness - very limited seakeeping ability
Operational depth - 311ft
Emergency depth - 466ft
Crush depth - 777ft
