ammunition & stores: 239 tons, 14.2 % Miscellaneous weights: 50 tons, 3.0 %
Metacentric height 1.3
Remarks:
Caution: Hull subject to strain in open-sea Hull space for machinery, storage & compartmentation is cramped Room
for accommodation & workspaces is cramped Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform Good seaboat,
rides out heavy weather easily
Estimated overall survivability and seakeeping ability: Relative margin of stability:
1.24 Shellfire needed to sink: 385 lbs / 174 Kg = 5.7 x 5.1 " / 130 mm shells (Approx weight of penetrating shell
hits needed to sink ship excluding critical hits) Torpedoes needed to sink: 0.3 (Approx number of typical torpedo
hits needed to sink ship) Relative steadiness as gun platform: 71 % (Average = 50 %) Relative rocking effect from
firing to beam: 0.61 Relative quality as seaboat: 1.21
Hull form characteristics: Block coefficient: 0.400
Sharpness coefficient: 0.28 Hull speed coefficient 'M': 9.69 'Natural speed' for length: 19.42 kts Power going
to wave formation at top speed: 62 % Trim: 59 (Maximise stabilty/flotation = 0, Maximise steadiness/seakeeping = 100)
Estimated hull characteristics & strength: Underwater volume absorbed by magazines and engineering spaces:
184.1 % Relative accommodation and working space: 76.0 % (Average = 100%) Displacement factor: 62 % (Displacement
relative to loading factors) Relative cross-sectional hull strength: 0.50 (Structure weight / hull surface area: 35
lbs / square foot or 171 Kg / square metre) Relative longitudinal hull strength: 1.04 (for 14.44 ft / 4.40 m average
freeboard, freeboard adjustment 3.83 ft) Relative composite hull strength: 0.53
