Teichkreuzer

[Korpen]

The DKB built two "Teichkreuzers" For Firanj

But by removing the armament, scarping the hull and building a new hull for the guns to go on, one could get a pair of these ships. Due to saving due to reusing guns, and income from scraping, the net cost would be the "standard"  Firanji 4000ton.

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
   Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
     4 746 lbs / 2 153 Kg = 31,7 x 6,7 " / 170 mm shells or 0,9 torpedoes
   Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,11
   Metacentric height 2,1 ft / 0,6 m
   Roll period: 14,2 seconds
   Steadiness   - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 68 %
