Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
  Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
    6,141 lbs / 2,786 Kg = 116.5 x 4.7 " / 120 mm shells or 1.1 torpedoes
  Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.26
  Metacentric height 4.0 ft / 1.2 m
  Roll period: 13.7 seconds
  Steadiness   - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 50 %
        - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.04
  Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.01

Hull form characteristics:
  Hull has a flush deck
  Block coefficient: 0.500
  Length to Beam Ratio: 6.50 : 1
  'Natural speed' for length: 20.65 kts
  Power going to wave formation at top speed: 62 %
  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:      19.69 ft / 6.00 m
     - Forecastle (20 %):   19.69 ft / 6.00 m
     - Mid (50 %):      19.69 ft / 6.00 m
     - Quarterdeck (15 %):   19.69 ft / 6.00 m
     - Stern:      19.69 ft / 6.00 m
     - Average freeboard:   19.69 ft / 6.00 m
  Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
  Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 122.3 %
     - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 208.1 %
  Waterplane Area: 18,647 Square feet or 1,732 Square metres
  Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 119 %
  Structure weight / hull surface area: 83 lbs/sq ft or 406 Kg/sq metre
  Hull strength (Relative):
     - Cross-sectional: 0.94
     - Longitudinal: 2.06
     - Overall: 1.01
  Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
  Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
