Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
1,625 lbs / 737 Kg = 15.0 x 6.0 " / 152 mm shells or 0.6 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.15
Metacentric height 1.7 ft / 0.5 m
Roll period: 13.2 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 64 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.56
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.13
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck,
a normal bow and a cruiser stern
Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.525 / 0.534
Length to Beam Ratio: 9.88 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 20.12 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 66 %
