The Ger/DD/1905 works with less expensive machinery

The Ger/DD/1905 destroyer design that I intended to produce in numbers for the original game has a reasonable Springsharp design. The machinery is less expensive than the Ger/CS/1905 design. A nasty feature is that to make designs work for destroyers, it is necessary to jigger the engine date. Some ships built in the period even before 1914, much less before 1918, had fairly high power output machinery for the weight. That certainly meant higher cost. The Ger/DD/1905 design is better in that the machinery works with a lower power output than I had expected. This is the Springsharp report:

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
 Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
   278 lbs / 126 Kg = 8.7 x 4.0 " / 102 mm shells or 0.2 torpedoes

    - Quarterdeck (15 %): 11.00 ft / 3.35 m
    - Stern:  11.00 ft / 3.35 m
    - Average freeboard: 13.72 ft / 4.18 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 177.5 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 120.3 %
