Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
2 354 lbs / 1 068 Kg = 22,0 x 6,0 " / 152 mm shells or 0,7 torpedoes

Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1,55
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has raised forecastle, rise forward of midbreak
Block coefficient: 0,500
Length to Beam Ratio: 9,55 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 18,56 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 60 %
