Roll period: 10.3 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 46 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0.70

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has low forecastle, low quarterdeck
Block coefficient: 0.750
Length to Beam Ratio: 1.00 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 14.32 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 38 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 68
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):

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 59.6 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 119.9 %
Waterplane Area: 35,183 Square feet or 3,269 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 120 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 168 lbs/sq ft or 821 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.90
- Longitudinal: 2.54
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is adequate
Poor seaboat, wet and uncomfortable, reduced performance in heavy weather

A more modern version of the "Admiral Popov" style warships built in Russia, these slow, but well-protected ships are stationed at Assab, guarding the Red Sea.

Hull, fittings & equipment: 3,403 tons, 30.9 %
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 1,352 tons, 12.3 %
Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0.0 %

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
9,822 lbs / 4,455 Kg = 19.6 x 10.0 " / 254 mm shells or 1.3 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.32
Metacentric height 4.8 ft / 1.5 m
Roll period: 13.4 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 75 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.42
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.50

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.764
Length to Beam Ratio: 5.14 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 18.97 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: 22.00 ft / 6.71 m
- Forecastle (20 %): 22.00 ft / 6.71 m
- Mid (50 %): 22.00 ft / 6.71 m
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 14.00 ft / 4.27 m
- Stern: 14.00 ft / 4.27 m
- Average freeboard: 19.40 ft / 5.91 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 116.3 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 150.6 %
Waterplane Area: 21,359 Square feet or 1,984 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 92 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 114 lbs/sq ft or 557 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.90
- Longitudinal: 2.64
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Excellent seaboat, comfortable, can fire her guns in the heaviest weather
