   Hull, fittings & equipment: 187 tons, 46,6 %
   Fuel, ammunition & stores: 57 tons, 14,3 %
   Miscellaneous weights: 70 tons, 17,4 %

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
   Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
     763 lbs / 346 Kg = 25,0 x 3,9 " / 100 mm shells or 0,5 torpedoes
   Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,20
   Metacentric height 1,1 ft / 0,3 m
   Roll period: 11,7 seconds
   Steadiness   - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 60 %
         - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,11
   Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1,19

Hull form characteristics:
   Hull has a flush deck
   Block coefficient: 0,487
   Length to Beam Ratio: 6,11 : 1
   'Natural speed' for length: 13,43 kts
   Power going to wave formation at top speed: 59 %
   Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
   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:      13,12 ft / 4,00 m
      - Forecastle (20 %):   10,30 ft / 3,14 m
      - Mid (50 %):      10,30 ft / 3,14 m
      - Quarterdeck (15 %):   10,30 ft / 3,14 m
      - Stern:      10,30 ft / 3,14 m
      - Average freeboard:   10,53 ft / 3,21 m
   Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
   Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 99,7 %
      - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 150,1 %
   Waterplane Area: 3.365 Square feet or 313 Square metres
   Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 137 %
   Structure weight / hull surface area: 36 lbs/sq ft or 175 Kg/sq metre
   Hull strength (Relative):
      - Cross-sectional: 0,87
      - Longitudinal: 3,32
      - Overall: 1,00
   Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is adequate
   Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
