Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
8,630 lbs / 3,915 Kg = 10.0 x 12.0 " / 305 mm shells or 2.8 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.26
Metacentric height 3.6 ft / 1.1 m
Roll period: 15.5 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.17
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.00
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.511
Length to Beam Ratio: 4.93 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 18.56 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 38 %

Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 53.2 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 76.0 %
Waterplane Area: 14,071 Square feet or 1,307 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 109 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 109 lbs/sq ft or 530 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.97
- Longitudinal: 1.29
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is cramped
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
