    Hull, fittings & equipment: 2 692 tons, 31,3%
    Fuel, ammunition & stores: 1 074 tons, 12,5%
    Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0,0%

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
    Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
      10 698 lbs / 4 853 Kg = 22,3 x 10,2 " / 260 mm shells or 1,9 torpedoes
    Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,30
    Metacentric height 4,1 ft / 1,3 m
    Roll period: 13,3 seconds
    Steadiness    - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 88 %
            - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,23
    Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1,75

Hull form characteristics:
    Hull has a flush deck
    Block coefficient: 0,596
    Length to Beam Ratio: 5,40 : 1
    'Natural speed' for length: 18,63 kts
    Power going to wave formation at top speed: 42 %
    Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
    Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0,00 degrees
    Stern overhang: 0,00 ft / 0,00 m
    Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
       - Stem:        19,42 ft / 5,92 m
       - Forecastle (20%):    12,99 ft / 3,96 m
       - Mid (50%):        12,99 ft / 3,96 m
       - Quarterdeck (15%):    12,99 ft / 3,96 m
       - Stern:        12,99 ft / 3,96 m
       - Average freeboard:    13,51 ft / 4,12 m
    Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
    Space    - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 69,8%
        - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 90,2%
    Waterplane Area: 16 264 Square feet or 1 511 Square metres
    Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 110%
    Structure weight / hull surface area: 115 lbs/sq ft or 563 Kg/sq metre
    Hull strength (Relative):
        - Cross-sectional: 0,92
        - Longitudinal: 2,11
        - Overall: 1,00
    Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
    Room for accommodation and workspaces is adequate
    Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
    Excellent seaboat, comfortable, can fire her guns in the heaviest weather
