Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
65,791 lbs / 29,842 Kg = 39.0 x 15.0 " / 381 mm shells or 9.1 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.12
Metacentric height 6.7 ft / 2.0 m
Roll period: 17.0 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 58 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.65
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.16
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck,
a normal bow and a cruiser stern
Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.592 / 0.596
Length to Beam Ratio: 8.14 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 29.24 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 50 %
