Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
23,208 lbs / 10,527 Kg = 12.1 x 16.0 " / 406 mm shells or 6.9 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 2.90
Metacentric height 70.4 ft / 21.5 m
Roll period: 10.3 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 46 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0.70

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has low forecastle, low quarterdeck
Block coefficient: 0.750
Length to Beam Ratio: 1.00 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 14.32 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 38 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 68
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
- Forecastle (25 %): 7.00 ft / 2.13 m (7.50 ft / 2.29 m aft of break)
- Mid (50 %): 9.00 ft / 2.74 m
- Quarterdeck (25 %): 7.00 ft / 2.13 m (7.50 ft / 2.29 m before break)
- Stern: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
- Average freeboard: 6.05 ft / 1.84 m
Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 59.6 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 119.9 %
Waterplane Area: 35,183 Square feet or 3,269 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 120 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 168 lbs/sq ft or 821 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.90
- Longitudinal: 2.54
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is adequate
Poor seaboat, wet and uncomfortable, reduced performance in heavy weather

A more modern version of the "Admiral Popov" style warships built in Russia, these slow, but well-protected ships are stationed at Assab, guarding the Red Sea.
