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
