Calculations made by the Bureau of Ships on the basis of information supplied with reference (j) brought out a very interesting set of conditions which resulted in the ELECTRA's initial stability being about one foot greater after damage than before. 16. At this time the list was apparently about 20 to starboard and the main deck was about 10 feet from the water.
