Roza class corvettes, laid down 1923
Length, 70.0 m x Beam, 7.0 m x Depth, 3.0 m 667
tonnes normal displacement (610 tonnes standard)
Main battery: 3 x 10.0-cm AA battery: 2 x 3.7-cm Light battery:
4 x 1.3-cm
Weight of broadside: 43 kg
4 TT, 53.0 cm in a single quadruple mount
15 tons depth charges/mines
Hull unarmored
Battery armor: Main, 2.5 cm shields AA, 2.5 cm shields
Maximum speed for 16312
shaft kw = 31.00 knots Approximate cruising radius, 3400 nm / 12 knots
Typical complement: 66-85
Estimated
cost, $921,000 (£230,000)
Remarks:
Caution: Hull structure is subject to strain in open-sea conditions.
Ship has slow, easy roll; a good, steady gun platform.
Good seaboat; rides out heavy weather easily.
Magazines
and engineering spaces are cramped, with poor watertight subdivision.
