some thing diffrent

[sgdn]

just sticking my head round the door ;D

hi to the new guys :)

just droping this off

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
   Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
     4,390 lbs / 1,991 Kg = 40.6 x 6 " / 152 mm shells or 1.9 torpedoes
   Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.07
   Metacentric height 1.1 ft / 0.3 m
   Roll period: 13.5 seconds
   Steadiness   - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 51 %
         - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
   Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.95

Hull form characteristics:
   Hull has a flush deck
   Block coefficient: 0.550
   Length to Beam Ratio: 6.50 : 1
   'Natural speed' for length: 14.83 kts
   Power going to wave formation at top speed: 55 %
   Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 26
   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:      13.12 ft / 4.00 m

      - Quarterdeck (15 %):   13.12 ft / 4.00 m
      - Stern:      13.12 ft / 4.00 m
      - Average freeboard:   13.12 ft / 4.00 m
   Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
   Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 120.4 %
      - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 76.2 %
   Waterplane Area: 5,028 Square feet or 467 Square metres
   Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 161 %
   Structure weight / hull surface area: 48 lbs/sq ft or 232 Kg/sq metre
   Hull strength (Relative):

      - Longitudinal: 4.61
      - Overall: 1.00
   Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
   Room for accommodation and workspaces is cramped
   Excellent seaboat, comfortable, rides out heavy weather easily

the cost of bilding i will leave that to the moderators in case the are some additional costs

fry me a mars bar i will be back for lunch! 8)

I think your misc weights are ok. You can probably sim her with the merchant rules, while paying full freight for your functional misc weight, etc.

It might be a tad early though. The first commercial AM broadcasts OTL didn't happen until 1920 or so.

well i am not stopping around [or doing anything] its more as some thing interesting that you guys may be able to use

and i am off again see you all some time
