The Ger/CL/1927 design

I have a 1927 design for the Germans, and it works quite nicely, except for the size. Again, the SHP/ton is the problem.

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
	Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
	  12,066 lbs / 5,473 Kg = 117.2 x 5.9 " / 150 mm shells or 1.9 torpedoes
	Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.17
	Metacentric height 2.9 ft / 0.9 m
	Roll period: 14.2 seconds
	Steadiness	- As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 51 %
			- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.39
	Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.03

Hull form characteristics:
	Hull has rise forward of midbreak
	  and transom stern
	Block coefficient: 0.462
	Length to Beam Ratio: 10.17 : 1
	'Natural speed' for length: 27.81 kts
	Power going to wave formation at top speed: 56 %
	Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
	Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 2.00 degrees
	Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
