New calculations for the Ger/CS/1909 scout

With machinery that is 48.7 SHP/ton, the Ger/CS/1909 scout cruiser works quite well. The one thing that I did was to increase the draft from 12ft to 13ft. That sufficed to obtain an adequate seakeeping ability, along with hull strenght. My original hope was to have machinery that would generate 45 SHP/ton of machinery. More power was required to reach 35 knots than I had expected, so higher output machinery was required. When I question it, I just remember the Swift with 60 SHP/ton of machinery weight a few years earlier. This is the Springsharp report:

 Machinery: 1,213 tons, 57.8 %
 Hull, fittings & equipment: 636 tons, 30.3 %
 Fuel, ammunition & stores: 220 tons, 10.5 %
 Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0.0 %

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
 Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
   511 lbs / 232 Kg = 8.2 x 5.0 " / 127 mm shells or 0.3 torpedoes
 Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.44
 Metacentric height 2.1 ft / 0.6 m
 Roll period: 10.7 seconds
 Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 52 %
   - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.29
 Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.04

Hull form characteristics:
 Hull has rise forward of midbreak
 Block coefficient: 0.437
 Length to Beam Ratio: 9.46 : 1
 'Natural speed' for length: 18.71 kts
 Power going to wave formation at top speed: 71 %
 Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
 Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
 Stern overhang: -2.00 ft / -0.61 m
 Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
    - Stem:  25.00 ft / 7.62 m
    - Forecastle (20 %): 23.00 ft / 7.01 m
    - Mid (35 %):  23.00 ft / 7.01 m (15.00 ft / 4.57 m aft of break)
    - Quarterdeck (15 %): 15.00 ft / 4.57 m
    - Stern:  15.00 ft / 4.57 m
    - Average freeboard: 17.96 ft / 5.47 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 197.6 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 152.2 %
 Waterplane Area: 8,173 Square feet or 759 Square metres
 Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 60 %
 Structure weight / hull surface area: 36 lbs/sq ft or 175 Kg/sq metre
 Hull strength (Relative):
  - Cross-sectional: 0.46
  - Longitudinal: 3.04
  - Overall: 0.55
 Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
 Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
