Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:

Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):

0 lbs / 0 Kg = NaN x 3.0 " / 76 mm shells or 0.3 torpedoes

Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 3.25

Metacentric height 18.0 ft / 5.5 m

Roll period: 7.5 seconds

Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 41 %

- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00

Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0.35


Hull form characteristics:

Hull has a flush deck,

a normal bow and large transom stern

Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.425 / 0.436

Length to Beam Ratio: 5.65 : 1

'Natural speed' for length: 25.12 kts
