Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):

Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.05
Metacentric height 4.0 ft / 1.2 m
Roll period: 16.9 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.56

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has raised forecastle, raised quarterdeck
Block coefficient: 0.542
Length to Beam Ratio: 6.00 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 21.91 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 44 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 45
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 15.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 3.00 ft / 0.91 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 24.00 ft / 7.32 m
- Forecastle (25 %): 18.00 ft / 5.49 m (12.00 ft / 3.66 m aft of break)
- Mid (50 %): 12.00 ft / 3.66 m
- Quarterdeck (20 %): 18.00 ft / 5.49 m (12.00 ft / 3.66 m before break)
- Stern: 18.00 ft / 5.49 m
- Average freeboard: 15.30 ft / 4.66 m
Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 74.4 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 103.5 %
Waterplane Area: 25,770 Square feet or 2,394 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 157 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 84 lbs/sq ft or 411 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.98
- Longitudinal: 1.13
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is adequate
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Excellent seaboat, comfortable, can fire her guns in the heaviest weather


Does she look ok?

Does she look ok?

Can´t say, haven´t seen a pic of her yet... ;o)

Congrats to Lady Green. She found the best name possible for an oiler! (Or wasn´t it inspired by the ship category? Have you been out for a drink or two last night?! ;o))

At todays oil prices Glug seems most fitting!!

Something like this?

You don't need "steady gun platform". Reduce her steadiness to 50, and watch her stability and survivability rise.

Not quite, I was thinking of bridge forward, tanks centre, and engine room aft
