293. What is used as an indicator of initial stability?
GM (metacentric height) indicates a vessel's initial stability at small heel angles. GM is the vertical distance between the center of gravity and the metacenter, and it directly measures the righting effect at small heel angles, unlike GZ, KM, or KG, which are either angle-dependent or components of the GM calculation.
