Total: maximum capacity (95 %)†			13,500

§ Based on considerations of cruising radius and power of survival as affected by reserve buoyancy.
* A11 values of endurance and radius are based on radius oil.
† For this class of vessels the value given for maximum capacity (95%) is the approximate weight of oil that can be carried without exceeding the tropical load line draft. This weight involves carrying fuel oil in wing cargo tanks,which should be accepted only in emergencies because of the probability of serious fire in case of underwater attack. It also involves overloading with sacrifice of reserve buoyancy and hence power of survival.

Conversion factors:

Diesel oil:	314 gallons =	1 ton.
Fuel oil:	277 gallons =	1 ton.
Diesel oil and fuel oil:	42 gallons =	1 barrel.
