Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 53.7 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 67.6 %
 Waterplane Area: 17,202 Square feet or 1,598 Square metres
 Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 112 %
 Structure weight / hull surface area: 123 lbs/sq ft or 602 Kg/sq metre
 Hull strength (Relative):
  - Cross-sectional: 0.97
  - Longitudinal: 1.28
  - Overall: 1.00
 Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
 Room for accommodation and workspaces is cramped
