- Ship tends to be wet forward
- Ship space, strength and comments:
- Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 128.7 %
- - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 147.6 %
- Waterplane Area: 18,468 Square feet or 1,716 Square metres
- Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 99 %
- Structure weight / hull surface area: 89 lbs/sq ft or 435 Kg/sq metre
- Hull strength (Relative):
- - Cross-sectional: 0.95
- - Longitudinal: 1.59
- - Overall: 1.00
- Cramped machinery, storage, compartmentation space
- Excellent accommodation and workspace room
- note: despite the small size of the secondary armament it is still far superior to the actual Omaha's secondary armament. Anything stronger would be considered historically inaccurate and another case of designing with hindsight.
- Also according to the our RFP Wiki my design's beam is narrow enough to allow the mounting of centre-mounted torpedo launchers.
