Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
31,789 lbs / 14,419 Kg = 36.8 x 12.0 " / 305 mm shells or 3.6 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.39
Metacentric height 7.0 ft / 2.1 m
Roll period: 13.5 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 62 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.30
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.25
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has low quarterdeck ,
a ram bow and a cruiser stern
Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.569 / 0.580
Length to Beam Ratio: 9.06 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 27.75 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 55 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 143.1 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 216.8 %
Waterplane Area: 46,499 Square feet or 4,320 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 111 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 141 lbs/sq ft or 690 Kg/sq metre
