I very much liked the large German destroyers in WWI. My attempt at such a ship was the Ger/DL/1915 (or 15). The displacement was 1,800 tons and the dimensions were: 332ft x 32ft x 12ft-4in. The armament was 5-5in/50 QF and 4-23.6in torpedo tubes (no reloads).
The designed full load displacement was 2,250 tons. The designed fuel capacity was 450 tons. The propulsion plant was 45,000 SHP, giving 20SHP/ton of displacement.
The machinery basis was 50 SHP/ton of machinery. The machinery would have been 900 tons. Fule consumption would have been 12.1 tons/hour, good for 37.4 hours, at full speed.
I believe that the nominal designed maximum speed was about 35 knots, but it is not listed. I don't think that I ever seriously considered producing this design (in the planning game).
