Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
134 lbs / 61 Kg = 23,6 x 2,2 " / 57 mm shells or 0,2 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,00
Metacentric height 0,7 ft / 0,2 m
Roll period: 13,4 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 46 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,03
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0,53
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has raised forecastle
and transom stern
Block coefficient: 0,359
Length to Beam Ratio: 9,63 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 18,57 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 78 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 81
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 40,00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0,00 ft / 0,00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 17,26 ft / 5,26 m
- Forecastle (30 %): 16,40 ft / 5,00 m (10,99 ft / 3,35 m aft of break)
- Mid (50 %): 10,99 ft / 3,35 m
- Quarterdeck (20 %): 10,99 ft / 3,35 m
- Stern: 10,99 ft / 3,35 m
- Average freeboard: 12,72 ft / 3,88 m
Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 193,4 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 50,7 %
Waterplane Area: 4 174 Square feet or 388 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 27 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 25 lbs/sq ft or 121 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0,41
- Longitudinal: 3,54
- Overall: 0,50
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is cramped
Caution: Lacks seaworthiness - very limited seakeeping ability
