My German destroyer minelayer design: Ger/DM/1913
I was only able to make what was intended to be a fast German minelayer work by reducing the speed to 32 knots. I guess that wasn't bad for 1913, but I had wanted 35 knots. The ship was to carry 3-6in guns and 250 mines. I allowed weights for mines, although I did not have good mine weight information, in a quick search.
