Tiger-style subdivision and the stability-speed tradeoff

Probably slightly greater stability and slightly lower speed, depending on how the subdivision was incorporated.

Question

What difference would adopting Tiger-style subdivision make to the proposed ship?

Short answer

Probably slightly greater stability and slightly lower speed, depending on how the subdivision was incorporated.

Notes

Tiger-style subdivision would probably give the proposed ship slightly more stability and slightly less speed. The size of the effect would depend on how the arrangement was incorporated. This is a tentative design judgment, with no detailed calculation offered.
