Fuel, ammunition & stores: 4,397 tons, 45.0 %
Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0.0 %
Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
158,941 lbs / 72,094 Kg = 1,471.7 x 6.0 " / 152 mm shells or 31.1 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.30
Metacentric height 3.7 ft / 1.1 m
Roll period: 13.0 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 63 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.20
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.26
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has raised forecastle
Block coefficient: 0.560
Length to Beam Ratio: 10.19 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 24.60 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 58 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 10.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 25.00 ft / 7.62 m
- Forecastle (20 %): 23.00 ft / 7.01 m (22.00 ft / 6.71 m aft of break)
- Mid (50 %): 22.00 ft / 6.71 m
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 22.00 ft / 6.71 m
- Stern: 22.00 ft / 6.71 m
- Average freeboard: 22.36 ft / 6.82 m
Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 9.2 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 216.5 %
Waterplane Area: 25,316 Square feet or 2,352 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 444 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 91 lbs/sq ft or 446 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.95
- Longitudinal: 1.53
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily
