Bunker at max displacement = 532 tons

Complement:
187 - 244

Cost:
£1,419 million / $5,675 million

Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
Armament: 96 tons, 3,5%
Armour: 44 tons, 1,6%
- Belts: 0 tons, 0,0%
- Torpedo bulkhead: 0 tons, 0,0%

Hull, fittings & equipment: 781 tons, 28,8%
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 458 tons, 16,9%
Miscellaneous weights: 50 tons, 1,8%

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
755 lbs / 342 Kg = 10,1 x 5,3 " / 135 mm shells or 0,4 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,32
Metacentric height 2,5 ft / 0,8 m
Roll period: 12,1 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 72 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,26
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0,84

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has rise forward of midbreak
Block coefficient: 0,400
Length to Beam Ratio: 8,57 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 19,84 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 65 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 85
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 17,00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0,00 ft / 0,00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 21,82 ft / 6,65 m
- Forecastle (20%): 16,40 ft / 5,00 m
- Mid (50%): 16,40 ft / 5,00 m (13,12 ft / 4,00 m aft of break)
- Quarterdeck (15%): 13,12 ft / 4,00 m
- Stern: 13,12 ft / 4,00 m
- Average freeboard: 15,20 ft / 4,63 m
Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 183,5%
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 140,7%
Waterplane Area: 11 131 Square feet or 1 034 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 70%
Structure weight / hull surface area: 45 lbs/sq ft or 218 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0,55
- Longitudinal: 1,24
- Overall: 0,60
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Poor seaboat, wet and uncomfortable, reduced performance in heavy weather


135mm are single porpose.
40mm are polish made

Impressive firepower....

Something seems to be wrong with your tertiary battery, methinks. ;o)

A nasty little ship. I would want to see a drawing, just to make sure all that stuff will fit.

Ok.

What scale do you use for your drawings?

My MS Paint drowings are an aprocimation of how the ship looks like.
They are not in scale.

I scale my ink drowings using 1:50 ,1:200,1:1000 scale.

Romania got the licence to build em from Atlantis!

Easy enough mistake to make when you rush the design a wee bit.

I might be able to cook up a scale drawing for you Marek...

Seawolf has done a great drawing of this ship and the Polish Conrad.

No kidding, REALLY nice.

Woah!!

Does he, by chance, take requests? :-)
