An updated Ger/DD/1905 destroyer
I have a very German-looking drawing for the Ger/DD/1905 design from September 9, 2001. There is a 4in gun on the forecastle and then a torpedo tube in a well between the gun and the bridge structure. This version has twin funnels. The design is 270ft x 28ft x 9ft, with a normal displacement of 900 tons. The speed is 32 knots and the armament is 2-4in QF guns and 2-18in TT. The design does depend on lightweight machinery. This is the Springsharp report:
