Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
1 490 lbs / 676 Kg = 13,9 x 6,0 " / 152 mm shells or 0,5 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,10
Metacentric height 0,8 ft / 0,2 m
Roll period: 12,2 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 2 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,03
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0,00
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck,
a normal bow and a cruiser stern
Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0,486 / 0,495
Length to Beam Ratio: 10,63 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 16,70 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 43 %

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 72,1 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 2,0 %
Waterplane Area: 4 815 Square feet or 447 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 209 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 131 lbs/sq ft or 637 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):

Excellent machinery, storage, compartmentation space
Extremely poor accommodation and workspace room
Ship has quick, lively roll, not a steady gun platform
Caution: Lacks seaworthiness - very limited seakeeping ability
