   Metacentric height 7.0 ft / 2.1 m
   Roll period: 14.6 seconds
   Steadiness   - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 71 %
         - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.38
   Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.76

Hull form characteristics:
   Hull has raised forecastle
   Block coefficient: 0.544
   Length to Beam Ratio: 6.05 : 1
   'Natural speed' for length: 23.60 kts
   Power going to wave formation at top speed: 45 %
   Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 40
   Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): -5.00 degrees
   Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
   Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
      - Stem:      23.00 ft / 7.01 m
      - Forecastle (15 %):   22.00 ft / 6.71 m (21.00 ft / 6.40 m aft of break)
      - Mid (60 %):      20.00 ft / 6.10 m

      - Average freeboard:   20.59 ft / 6.27 m
   Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
   Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 74.8 %
      - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 159.5 %
   Waterplane Area: 35,569 Square feet or 3,304 Square metres
   Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 112 %
   Structure weight / hull surface area: 153 lbs/sq ft or 745 Kg/sq metre
   Hull strength (Relative):
      - Cross-sectional: 0.94
      - Longitudinal: 1.81
      - Overall: 1.00
   Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
   Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
   Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
   Excellent seaboat, comfortable, can fire her guns in the heaviest weather
