Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
   Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
     109 lbs / 49 Kg = 55,8 x 1,6 " / 40 mm shells or 0,1 torpedoes
   Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,10
   Metacentric height 0,4 ft / 0,1 m
   Roll period: 11,0 seconds
   Steadiness   - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 61 %
         - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,02
   Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1,06

Hull form characteristics:
   Hull has a flush deck
   Block coefficient: 0,553
   Length to Beam Ratio: 12,70 : 1
   'Natural speed' for length: 14,43 kts
   Power going to wave formation at top speed: 72 %
   Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 58
   Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 10,00 degrees
   Stern overhang: 0,00 ft / 0,00 m
   Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
      - Stem:      10,50 ft / 3,20 m
