I can report my light cruiser could reach 39 knots

I just did a quick data entry job and ran my program for my fast light cruiser (5,000 tons). The displacement was a good estimate. At 5,093 tons the ship could reach 39 knots. The deep load speed is 36 knots. The actual Washington Naval treaty Standard Displacement was 4,452 tons. The deep load displacement was 6,680 tons. The normal range was 3,351 nm. The maximum cruising range at 15 knots was 10,054 nm. The max fuel capacity was 1,200 tons. The normal fuel load was just 400 tons.
