It's quite a list so here's what I made of it:
Kongo, Japan Battlecruiser laid down 1911
Ships: 4. Kongo, Hiei, Haruna, Kirishima
Displacement:
28,065 t light; 29,800 t standard; 34,482 t normal; 38,090 t full load
Loading submergence 1,407 tons/feet
Dimensions:
680.00 ft x 102.00 ft x 29.00 ft (normal load)
207.26 m x 31.09 m x 8.84 m
Armament:
8 - 14.17" / 360 mm guns (4 Main turrets x 2 guns, 2 superfiring turrets)
Aft turrets separated by engine room
16 - 5.12" / 130 mm guns
Secondary guns mounted low & subject to being washed down in a seaway
18 - 1.97" / 50 mm QF guns
30 - 0.98" / 25 mm guns
Weight of broadside 12,544 lbs / 5,690 kg
2 - 21.0" / 533.4 mm submerged torpedo tubes
Armour:
Belt 11.00" / 279 mm, ends unarmoured
Belts cover 101 % of normal area
Main turrets 12.00" / 305 mm, 2nd casemates 4.00" / 102 mm
QF gun shields 1.00" / 25 mm, Light gun shields 1.00" / 25 mm
Armour deck 2.00" / 51 mm, Conning tower 12.00" / 305 mm
Torpedo bulkhead 2.00" / 51 mm
Machinery:
Coal and oil fired boilers, steam turbines,
Geared drive, 4 shafts, 111,269 shp / 83,006 Kw = 28.00 kts
Range 10,000nm at 15.00 kts
Complement:
1,265 - 1,644
Cost:
£2.946 million / $11.785 million
Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
Armament: 1,568 tons, 4.5 %
Armour: 8,956 tons, 26.0 %
Belts: 2,558 tons, 7.4 %, Armament: 3,352 tons, 9.7 %, Armour Deck: 1,823 tons, 5.3 %
Conning Tower: 275 tons, 0.8 %, Torpedo bulkhead: 949 tons, 2.8 %
Machinery: 4,621 tons, 13.4 %
Hull, fittings & equipment: 12,820 tons, 37.2 %
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 6,417 tons, 18.6 %
Miscellaneous weights: 100 tons, 0.3 %
Metacentric height 6.8
Remarks:
Hull space for machinery, storage & compartmentation is adequate
Room for accommodation & workspaces is excellent
Estimated overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Relative margin of stability: 1.16
Shellfire needed to sink: 35,184 lbs / 15,959 Kg = 24.7 x 14.2 " / 360 mm shells
(Approx weight of penetrating shell hits needed to sink ship excluding critical hits)
Torpedoes needed to sink: 4.7
(Approx number of typical torpedo hits needed to sink ship)
Relative steadiness as gun platform: 53 %
(Average = 50 %)
Relative rocking effect from firing to beam: 0.44
Relative quality as seaboat: 1.05
Hull form characteristics:
Block coefficient: 0.600
Sharpness coefficient: 0.41
Hull speed coefficient 'M': 6.39
'Natural speed' for length: 26.08 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 54 %
Trim: 50
(Maximise stabilty/flotation = 0, Maximise steadiness/seakeeping = 100)
Estimated hull characteristics & strength:
Underwater volume absorbed by magazines and engineering spaces: 100.0 %
Relative accommodation and working space: 163.2 %
(Average = 100%)
Displacement factor: 112 %
(Displacement relative to loading factors)
Relative cross-sectional hull strength: 0.97
(Structure weight / hull surface area: 186 lbs / square foot or 909 Kg / square metre)
Relative longitudinal hull strength: 1.35
(for 22.00 ft / 6.71 m average freeboard, freeboard adjustment 2.60 ft)
Relative composite hull strength: 1.00
In my opinion, it's not too bad a ship (compared to what they were historically).
