          7816 tonnes normal displacement (7274 tonnes standard)
     Main battery:       2 x 20.3-cm (2 x 1)
     Secondary battery:  8 x 15.2-cm
     QF battery:         8 x  7.6-cm
     Light battery:      8 x  7.6-cm
          Weight of broadside: 718 kg
     2 TT, 45.0 cm (submerged)
     Main belt, 18.0 cm; bow and stern, 3.0 cm
     Upper belt, 5.0 cm
     Armor deck, average 5.0 cm
     Conning tower, 15.0 cm
     Battery armor:
          Main, 18.0 cm / secondary, 15.0 cm
          QF, 5.0 cm / light guns, 5.0 cm shields 
     Maximum speed for 11713 indicated kw = 21.00 knots
          Approximate cruising radius, 4800 nm / 10 knots
     Typical complement: 416-540

                    Estimated cost, $2.915 million (£729,000)
          Remarks:
     Relative extent of belt armor, 117 percent of 'typical' coverage.
     Ship has slow, easy roll; a good, steady gun platform.

     Magazines and engineering spaces are cramped, with poor
     watertight subdivision.
     Main deck secondary guns subject to being washed down
     in a seaway.
     Main deck QF guns subject to being washed down in a seaway.

               magazines and engineering spaces: 117 percent
          Relative accommodation and working space: 97 percent

          Displacement factor: 93 percent
               (Displacement relative to loading factors)

          Relative cross-sectional hull strength: 0.97
