Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):

Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.07
Metacentric height 6.0 ft / 1.8 m
Roll period: 17.8 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 45 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 1.29
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0.76
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck,
a normal bow and a cruiser stern
Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.686 / 0.689
Length to Beam Ratio: 9.62 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 31.62 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 51 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 53
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 8.00 degrees

Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 291.5 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 286.1 %
Waterplane Area: 82,319 Square feet or 7,648 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 87 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 164 lbs/sq ft or 800 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
