Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
9,577 lbs / 4,355 Kg = 91.2 x 6.0 " / 152 mm shells or 2.3 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.14
Metacentric height 2.0 ft / 0.6 m
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 71 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.40
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.50
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.600
Length to Beam Ratio: 9.35 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 20.74 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 42 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 47
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 50.50 degrees
Stern overhang: 3.00 ft / 0.91 m

Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 54.0 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 148.0 %
Waterplane Area: 14,151 Square feet or 1,315 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 157 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 72 lbs/sq ft or 354 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.99
- Longitudinal: 1.10
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Excellent seaboat, comfortable, can fire her guns in the heaviest weather
50.5 degree bow angle was used to 'sim' part of the lifting system hanging over the bow to get
the correct overall length.
250 armed soldiers at 2 tons = 500 tons
1 scoutplane + catapult (25+25 = 50 tons)
landing ramp + ramp lifting system froward (50 tons)
