  Miscellaneous weights: 175 tons, 1.8 %

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
  Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
    8,328 lbs / 3,778 Kg = 80.9 x 5.9 " / 150 mm shells or 1.1 torpedoes
  Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.34
  Metacentric height 3.8 ft / 1.2 m
  Roll period: 12.7 seconds
  Steadiness   - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 52 %
        - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.27
  Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.05

Hull form characteristics:
  Hull has low quarterdeck
  Block coefficient: 0.500
  Length to Beam Ratio: 10.00 : 1
  'Natural speed' for length: 24.30 kts
  Power going to wave formation at top speed: 57 %
  Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
  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:      24.61 ft / 7.50 m
     - Forecastle (20 %):   22.15 ft / 6.75 m
     - Mid (50 %):      18.04 ft / 5.50 m
     - Quarterdeck (15 %):   11.48 ft / 3.50 m (18.04 ft / 5.50 m before break)
     - Stern:      11.48 ft / 3.50 m
     - Average freeboard:   18.69 ft / 5.70 m
  Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
  Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 124.5 %
     - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 134.1 %
  Waterplane Area: 23,236 Square feet or 2,159 Square metres
  Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 103 %
  Structure weight / hull surface area: 96 lbs/sq ft or 470 Kg/sq metre
  Hull strength (Relative):
     - Cross-sectional: 0.97
     - Longitudinal: 1.22
     - Overall: 1.00
  Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
  Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
