Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
45,165 lbs / 20,486 Kg = 26.8 x 15.0 " / 381 mm shells or 5.7 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.23
Metacentric height 7.3 ft / 2.2 m
Roll period: 15.5 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 55 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.83
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.11
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has rise forward of midbreak,
a ram bow and a cruiser stern
Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.585 / 0.593
Length to Beam Ratio: 7.50 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 27.39 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 53 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): -2.00 degrees
Stern overhang: -3.00 ft / -0.91 m
Freeboard (% = length of deck as a percentage of waterline length):
Fore end, Aft end
- Forecastle: 36.00 %, 27.00 ft / 8.23 m, 26.00 ft / 7.92 m
- Forward deck: 36.00 %, 26.00 ft / 7.92 m, 26.00 ft / 7.92 m
- Aft deck: 13.00 %, 18.00 ft / 5.49 m, 18.00 ft / 5.49 m
- Quarter deck: 15.00 %, 18.00 ft / 5.49 m, 18.00 ft / 5.49 m
- Average freeboard: 23.90 ft / 7.29 m
Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 112.2 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 187.5 %
Waterplane Area: 54,089 Square feet or 5,025 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 109 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 201 lbs/sq ft or 982 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.97
- Longitudinal: 1.36
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
