Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
48,548 lbs / 22,021 Kg = 56.2 x 12.0 " / 305 mm shells or 5.9 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.28
Metacentric height 7.8 ft / 2.4 m
Roll period: 15.0 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 54 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.33
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.09
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck,
a normal bow and a cruiser stern
Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.536 / 0.544
Length to Beam Ratio: 7.50 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 27.39 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 62 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 3.00 ft / 0.91 m
Freeboard (% = length of deck as a percentage of waterline length):
Fore end, Aft end

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 114.3 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 231.8 %
Waterplane Area: 51,661 Square feet or 4,799 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 112 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 167 lbs/sq ft or 816 Kg/sq metre
