I redid my Ger/CS/1905 design
Given what I learned about Springsharp, I redid my design for the Ger/CS/1905 scout cruiser. By reducing the speed way down to 30 knots, I was able to use my original dimensions and give them the 2in Belt over the machinery spaces. I had thought that I would have to accept 29 knots, but 30 knots is not so bad, given the date of the design. Admittedly, I wanted to have too light a machinery for 1905, although I don't think that what I want is out of line. This is the Springsharp report:
