31. They had a metacentric height of at deep load as built as well as a complete double bottom. 32. The ships had a metacentric height of, and were equipped with bilge keels to increase their stability. 33. The ships'expected metacentric height was, comparable to the British " Lion " class. 34. This increased her metacentric height to about at deep load, despite the increase in her deep displacement to. 35. The metacentric height was for the 305 mm gunned ships, but dropped to in the 380 mm gunned ships. 36. Her shallow draught gave her a metacentric height of at deep load which made her a very steady gun platform. 37. The only known stability figure is from " Sinop " in 1908 which had a metacentric height of. 38. They suffered from severe weather helm, and tended to roll badly in a beam sea; their metacentric height was. 39. They rolled quickly with a metacentric height of at deep load and their six-inch guns were as wet as predicted. 40. Furthermore, large cruise ships also tend to be very wide, which considerably increases their initial stability by increasing the metacentric height .
