The ships proved to be good sea boats, but had to be reinforced while under construction with additional stiffening and pillars under the forecastle deck to cure some minor structural problems forward.<ref>Roberts, pp. 49–50.</ref> They had a [[metacentric height]] of {{convert|6.2|ft|1}} at deep load as built as well as a complete [[double bottom]].<ref name="Burt 1986, pp. 297–98">Burt 1986, pp. 297–298.</ref>
