Enter ship name, Ottoman Empire Torpedo Pod laid down 1900

Displacement:
   20 t light; 20 t standard; 20 t normal; 20 t full load

Dimensions: Length (overall / waterline) x beam x draught (normal/deep)
   (25.00 ft / 25.00 ft) x 10.00 ft x (5.00 / 5.00 ft)
   (7.62 m / 7.62 m) x 3.05 m  x (1.52 / 1.52 m)

Machinery:
   Immobile floating battery

Complement:
   4 - 6

Cost:
   £0.001 million / $0.003 million

Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
   Armament: 0 tons, 0.0 %
   Machinery: 0 tons, 0.0 %
   Hull, fittings & equipment: 4 tons, 17.7 %
   Fuel, ammunition & stores: 0 tons, 2.0 %
   Miscellaneous weights: 16 tons, 80.3 %
      - On freeboard deck: 16 tons

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
   Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
     453 lbs / 205 Kg = 4.2 x 6 " / 152 mm shells or 6.5 torpedoes
   Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 0.85
   Metacentric height 0.1 ft / 0.0 m
   Roll period: 12.6 seconds
   Steadiness   - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 100 %
         - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
   Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 2.00

Hull form characteristics:
   Hull has a flush deck,
     a normal bow and a cruiser stern
   Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.558 / 0.558
   Length to Beam Ratio: 2.50 : 1
   'Natural speed' for length: 5.00 kts
   Power going to wave formation at top speed: 0 %
   Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
   Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
   Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
   Freeboard (% = length of deck as a percentage of waterline length):
            Fore end,    Aft end
      - Forecastle:   20.00 %,  3.50 ft / 1.07 m,  3.50 ft / 1.07 m
      - Forward deck:   30.00 %,  3.50 ft / 1.07 m,  3.50 ft / 1.07 m
      - Aft deck:   35.00 %,  3.50 ft / 1.07 m,  3.50 ft / 1.07 m
      - Quarter deck:   15.00 %,  3.50 ft / 1.07 m,  3.50 ft / 1.07 m
      - Average freeboard:      3.50 ft / 1.07 m
   Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
   Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 2.1 %
      - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 28.5 %
   Waterplane Area: 171 Square feet or 16 Square metres
   Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 125 %
   Structure weight / hull surface area: 11 lbs/sq ft or 55 Kg/sq metre
   Hull strength (Relative):
      - Cross-sectional: 0.73
      - Longitudinal: 18.13
      - Overall: 1.00
   Caution: Poor stability - excessive risk of capsizing
   Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
   Room for accommodation and workspaces is extremely poor
   Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
   Excellent seaboat, comfortable, rides out heavy weather easily

Misc. Weight: 16 tons
16t on deck is for 16 single torpedo tubes.

You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when solider lads march by
Sneak home and pray that you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.
