Zmodyfikowany Rhadamanthus - 26.05.2012

W nawiązaniu do postu z 13 maja - prezentuję zmodyfikowany krążownik Rhadamanthus po jego hipotetycznej odsprzedaży do Holandii. Zmiany objęły pogrubienie opancerzenia, zmianę artylerii średniej na 150 mm i parę innych detali. nie obyło się bez pewnego spadku prędkości, ale i tak mamy dość ciekawą jednostkę, przydatną jeszcze w czasie DWS (przydałby się taki na Morzu Jawajskim choćby..)

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
    Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
      17 777 lbs / 8 064 Kg = 10,5 x 15,0 " / 381 mm shells or 2,4 torpedoes
    Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,19
    Metacentric height 4,4 ft / 1,3 m
    Roll period: 14,8 seconds
    Steadiness    - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 42 %
            - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,66
    Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 0,72

Hull form characteristics:
    Hull has rise forward of midbreak
    Block coefficient: 0,546
    Length to Beam Ratio: 8,51 : 1
    'Natural speed' for length: 25,11 kts
    Power going to wave formation at top speed: 55 %
    Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
    Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 5,00 degrees
    Stern overhang: 0,00 ft / 0,00 m
    Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
       - Stem:        23,62 ft / 7,20 m

       - Stern:        11,52 ft / 3,51 m
       - Average freeboard:    17,18 ft / 5,24 m
    Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:

    Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
    Poor seaboat, wet and uncomfortable, reduced performance in heavy weather
