Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
41,681 lbs / 18,906 Kg = 41.7 x 12.6 " / 320 mm shells or 6.5 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.15

Roll period: 17.7 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 60 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.46
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.07
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
and transom stern
Block coefficient: 0.546
Length to Beam Ratio: 8.22 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 31.58 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 54 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 56
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 5.00 degrees
