Kolejne torpedowce

Nowy typ torpedowca, podobnie jak poprzednik – z bardzo dobrą prędkością. Tym razem okręt ma dwie wyrzutnie torped i jako pierwszy okręt tej klasy w naszej flocie – uzbrojenie artyleryjskie (choć przy tych wymiarach i tak jest ono czysto symboliczne). Typ liczy sobie 8 jednostek – 2 dla uzupełniania poprzedniego typu do pełnej flotylli i 8 tworzących nową flotyllę. Tym samym nasze siły torpedowe liczą sobie już 3 flotylle (pierwsza – 8 jednostek +3 stare torpedowce z lat 70-tych, i dwie po 8) – całkiem niezły wynik;-)

    £0,012 million / $0,047 million

Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
    Armament: 0 tons, 0,4%
    Machinery: 61 tons, 68,4%
    Hull, fittings & equipment: 21 tons, 23,2%
    Fuel, ammunition & stores: 5 tons, 5,7%
    Miscellaneous weights: 2 tons, 2,2%

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
    Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
      10 lbs / 4 Kg = 7,2 x 1,5 " / 37 mm shells or 0,0 torpedoes
    Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,39
    Metacentric height 0,4 ft / 0,1 m
    Roll period: 8,4 seconds
    Steadiness    - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 12 %
            - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,02
    Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 0,06

Hull form characteristics:
    Hull has a flush deck
    Block coefficient: 0,477
    Length to Beam Ratio: 9,03 : 1
    'Natural speed' for length: 10,76 kts
    Power going to wave formation at top speed: 78 %
    Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
    Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): -36,00 degrees
    Stern overhang: 0,00 ft / 0,00 m
    Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
       - Stem:        5,48 ft / 1,67 m
       - Forecastle (20%):    4,49 ft / 1,37 m
       - Mid (50%):        3,48 ft / 1,06 m
       - Quarterdeck (15%):    4,00 ft / 1,22 m
       - Stern:        4,00 ft / 1,22 m
       - Average freeboard:    4,08 ft / 1,24 m
    Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
    Space    - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 225,8%
        - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 27,6%
    Waterplane Area: 929 Square feet or 86 Square metres
    Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 7%
    Structure weight / hull surface area: 13 lbs/sq ft or 66 Kg/sq metre
    Hull strength (Relative):
        - Cross-sectional: 0,47
        - Longitudinal: 0,87
        - Overall: 0,50
    Caution: Hull subject to strain in open-sea
    Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is extremely poor
    Room for accommodation and workspaces is extremely poor
    Ship has quick, lively roll, not a steady gun platform
    Caution: Lacks seaworthiness - very limited seakeeping ability
