A German light cruiser design for 1916Submergence of 410.25 of actual displacement per foot

I conceived of this light cruiser design in 1971. The idea was a German-looking ship with three funnels (with casings halfway up the stacks), three twin 6-inch gun mounts, with one forward and two aft, with one superfiring over the other (with blast shields). I will be expanding what is printed, as I add to the weight calculations.
