In light of the improved propulsion technology available to Firanji shipbuilders, it was decided that building a repeat of Thrawn's Hand had would be wasteful. Adoption of turbines allowed the ship to be 2000ton lighter, and still be 2 knots faster, with better range, payload and protection.

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
   Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
     7,872 lbs / 3,570 Kg = 12.4 x 10.8 " / 275 mm shells or 1.7 torpedoes
   Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.39
   Metacentric height 5.5 ft / 1.7 m

         - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.11
   Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.07

Hull form characteristics:
   Hull has a flush deck
   Block coefficient: 0.567
   Length to Beam Ratio: 4.79 : 1
   'Natural speed' for length: 18.71 kts
