Q2 1940 Activity

Kingdom of Thailand
2/2 factories producing naval materials: 2,000 tons created for Q4/39. 2,000 total tons + 106 stockpiled from previous quarter + 0 tons from scrapping + 500 tons from abroad = 2,606 tons

2564 tons used. 42 tons left for Q3/40

Fuel, ammunition & stores: 22 tons, 7.0 %
Miscellaneous weights: 75 tons, 24.2 %

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
224 lbs / 102 Kg = 144.9 x 1.5 " / 37 mm shells or 0.4 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.01
Metacentric height 0.3 ft / 0.1 m
Roll period: 11.5 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 0 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0.00

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.589
Length to Beam Ratio: 8.89 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 11.46 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 47 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):

- Stern: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
- Average freeboard: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 69.6 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 0.0 %

- Overall: 3.32
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is extremely poor
Ship has quick, lively roll, not a steady gun platform
Caution: Lacks seaworthiness - very limited seakeeping ability
