Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
    Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
      20 804 lbs / 9 436 Kg = 12,4 x 15,0 " / 380 mm shells or 5,1 torpedoes

    Metacentric height 5,9 ft / 1,8 m
    Roll period: 13,7 seconds
    Steadiness    - As gun platform (Average = 50 : 58 %
            - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,10
    Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 0,80

Hull form characteristics:
    Hull has raised forecastle,
      a normal bow and a cruiser stern
    Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0,568 / 0,570
    Length to Beam Ratio: 7,50 : 1
    'Natural speed' for length: 24,30 kts
    Power going to wave formation at top speed: 45 %
    Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 72
    Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0,00 degrees
    Stern overhang: 0,00 ft / 0,00 m
    Freeboard (% = length of deck as a percentage of waterline length):
                Fore end,     Aft end
       - Forecastle:    45,00%,  19,69 ft / 6,00 m,  13,12 ft / 4,00 m

       - Average freeboard:        10,70 ft / 3,26 m
    Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
    Space    - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 51,7%
        - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 70,4%
    Waterplane Area: 33 005 Square feet or 3 066 Square metres
    Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 146%
    Structure weight / hull surface area: 167 lbs/sq ft or 816 Kg/sq metre
    Hull strength (Relative):
        - Cross-sectional: 1,58
        - Longitudinal: 0,87
        - Overall: 1,01
    Excellent machinery, storage, compartmentation space
    Cramped accommodation and workspace room
    Poor seaboat, wet and uncomfortable, reduced performance in heavy weather

Warning: Beam between bulkheads too wide
