Ship space, strength and comments:
	Space	- Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 59.6 %
		- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 59.3 %
	Waterplane Area: 18,027 Square feet or 1,675 Square metres
	Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 128 %
	Structure weight / hull surface area: 118 lbs/sq ft or 574 Kg/sq metre

		- Cross-sectional: 1.23
		- Longitudinal: 0.94
		- Overall: 1.01
	Excellent machinery, storage, compartmentation space
	Cramped accommodation and workspace room
	Caution: Lacks seaworthiness - very limited seakeeping ability

Coal bunkers are used as extra armour; oil sprayers are used for extra speed or to raise steam quickly.

Includes one collapsible crane, floatplane hangar(1) and two floatplanes(one in the hangar, one on deck), and a catapult built into the deck forwards.

Armament -
38cm/45 SK L/45
10.5cm/45 FlaK 45 - 12700m range
Becker M2 2cm Flakvierling

Forward torpedo tubes are fixed, 2m below waterline in the outermost compartment, and have no provision for reloads, minimising the downsides of having torpedoes on a warship.

8" Main belt 10" above waterline, tapering to 6" at bottom.
