Since I'm redoing Springsharp designs, here is the Ger/CS/1905 scout cruiser

The main difference about this attempt at the Ger/CS/1905 design is that I have the armament located correctly in the design. It seems a necessity, now that I know how to do it. I was able to keep the draft from getting too great, although it still is, due to the need to get adequate structural strength. The dimensions are 370ft x 38ft x 13ft. The displacement is only 2,240 tons, which is too low. The intended normal displacement is 2,480 tons. The speed is not quite what I wanted, as it is just 35 knots, not 36. The cruising speed and range are too low, but the only way to do better is to have a better SHP/ton for the machinery. I'm already skewing the date to get it. At about 45SHP/ton, it is still much below the maximum output achieved by the British super-destroyer Swift, which could produce 60SHP/ton, and in the same time period as this design. This is the Springsharp report:
