At 1140 CHEROKEE went alongside to attempt to pump out the engine room, and at 1215 USS RAVEN (AM55) went alongside to assist in pumping, using all available portable pumps including some borrowed from destroyers in the screen. The gain in initial stability with extensive flooding, as in the case of the ELECTRA, is accompanied by a large decrease in maximum righting arm and range of stability. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. In 1942, when the AP number series had already extended beyond 100, it was decided that these amphibious warfare ships really constituted a separate category of warship from conventional transports.

This increase in initial stability was caused by the combination of two factors: (a) The freeboard before damage was great enough to permit the ship to sink a large amount without submerging the bulkhead deck. It is possible that some list would have resulted anyway because of the division of the refrigeration spaces previously mentioned and because of loss of initial stability. that there was a glow of short duration just abaft the uptakes following the first hit.
