Oka class fast minelayer, laid down 1922

Length, 70.0 m x Beam, 7.1 m x Depth, 3.0 m
691 tonnes normal displacement (599 tonnes standard)

Main battery: 1 x 5.7-cm (1 x 1 fwd)
AA battery: 2 x 3.7-cm (1 x 2 aft)
Light battery: 2 x 1.3-cm (1 x 1 on each beam)

Weight of broadside: 4 kg

50 tons mines and minelaying equipment

Hull unarmored

Maximum speed for 14578 shaft kw = 30.00 knots
Approximate cruising radius, 3100 nm / 15 knots

Typical complement: 67-88


Estimated cost, $790,000 (£197,000)

Remarks:

Caution: Hull structure is subject to strain in open-sea
conditions.

Ship has slow, easy roll; a good, steady gun platform.

Magazines and engineering spaces are cramped, with poor
watertight subdivision.

Estimated overall survivability and seakeeping ability:

Relative margin of stability: 1.13

Shellfire needed to sink: 79 kg = 30.9 x 5.7-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, 0.03

Relative quality as a seaboat: 1.00

Hull form characteristics:

Block coefficient: 0.46
Sharpness coefficient: 0.32
Hull speed coefficient 'M' = 7.93
'Natural speed' for length = 15.2 knots
Power going to wave formation
at top speed: 73 percent


Estimated hull characteristics and strength:

Relative underwater volume absorbed by
magazines and engineering spaces: 179 percent

Relative accommodation and working space: 115 percent


Displacement factor: 50 percent
(Displacement relative to loading factors)


Relative cross-sectional hull strength: 0.50
(Structure weight per square
metre of hull surface: 120 kg)

Relative longitudinal hull strength: 2.01
(for 3.91 m average freeboard;
freeboard adjustment +1.20 m)

Relative composite hull strength: 0.57
