The German scout Ger/CS/1909

This was my scout design for 1909 for the Germans. It was inspired by the large Italian destroyers. The armament is 4-5in QF and 2-21in TT. The speed is very high, being 36 knots. That made achieving a balanced design all the more difficult, although it could be done (SHP/ton of machinery weight being 48.76):

Ship space, strength and comments:
	Space	- Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 209.2 %
		- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 127.1 %
	Waterplane Area: 7,867 Square feet or 731 Square metres
	Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 54 %
	Structure weight / hull surface area: 37 lbs/sq ft or 181 Kg/sq metre
	Hull strength (Relative):
		- Cross-sectional: 0.45
		- Longitudinal: 2.99
		- Overall: 0.54
	Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is extremely poor
	Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
