High speed is the outstanding capability of the Roza class

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.

Estimated overall survivability and seakeeping ability:

Relative margin of stability: 1.08

Shellfire needed to sink: 82 kg = 5.9 x 10.0-cm shells
(Approximates weight of penetrating
shell hits needed to sink ship,
not counting critical hits)

Torpedoes needed to sink: 0.2
(Approximates number of 'typical'
torpedo hits needed to sink ship)

Relative steadiness as gun platform, 70 percent
(50 percent is 'average')

Relative rocking effect from firing to beam, 0.47

Relative quality as a seaboat: 1.21

Hull form characteristics:

Block coefficient: 0.45
Sharpness coefficient: 0.31
Hull speed coefficient 'M' = 8.03
'Natural speed' for length = 15.2 knots
Power going to wave formation
at top speed: 74 percent


Estimated hull characteristics and strength:

Relative underwater volume absorbed by
magazines and engineering spaces: 184 percent

Relative accommodation and working space: 92 percent


Displacement factor: 42 percent
(Displacement relative to loading factors)


Relative cross-sectional hull strength: 0.50
(Structure weight per square
metre of hull surface: 143 kg)

Relative longitudinal hull strength: 2.94
(for 4.57 m average freeboard;
freeboard adjustment +1.89 m)

Relative composite hull strength: 0.59
