Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
1 214 lbs / 551 Kg = 23,2 x 5,5 " / 140 mm shells or 0,5 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,06
Metacentric height 1,1 ft / 0,3 m
Roll period: 13,6 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 100 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,29
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 2,00
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0,575
Length to Beam Ratio: 5,41 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 13,54 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 41 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): -10,00 degrees

- Stern: 11,25 ft / 3,43 m
- Average freeboard: 10,93 ft / 3,33 m
Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 73,7%
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 75,9%
Waterplane Area: 4 331 Square feet or 402 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 120%
Structure weight / hull surface area: 74 lbs/sq ft or 362 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0,87
- Longitudinal: 3,26
- Overall: 1,00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is cramped
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Excellent seaboat, comfortable, can fire her guns in the heaviest weather
