Which means no more than 2% of normal displacement may be guns/armor. In this case that is ~193 tons.
Note that I have 6mm of "Armour" on my anti-mine bulges, which is meant to represent - not Armor Plate- but the structural steel of the bulge.

   Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
   Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 70.3 %
      - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 59.4 %
   Waterplane Area: 20,640 Square feet or 1,918 Square metres
   Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 158 %
   Structure weight / hull surface area: 87 lbs/sq ft or 423 Kg/sq metre
   Hull strength (Relative):
      - Cross-sectional: 0.98
      - Longitudinal: 1.50
      - Overall: 1.03
   Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
   Room for accommodation and workspaces is cramped
   Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
   Excellent seaboat, comfortable, can fire her guns in the heaviest weather

Warning: Calibre too large for machine gun - 3rd battery

Named after a coal scuttle :)

Built to Mercantile standards.

Quoteto mercantile standards if armament and armor take up no more than 2% of the ship's weight at normal displacement

Which means no more than 2% of normal displacement may be guns/armor. In this case that is ~267 tons.

Note : bulge "armor" is simple structural steel, included as an accounting method.

Armanent : 111 tons
Armour : 205 tons - 54 tons of non-armored bulge steel : 151tons
Total : 263 tons  - OK
