An updated Ger/DD/1914 design
When I was binging on drawing ships on September 9th, 2001, I drew the Ger/DD/1914 design. It is very similar to real ships from the period, except that it is slower. It still is a 32 knot ship, as I recall. Of course, it relies on very lightweight machinery. Two things that are new are 6-21in TT and 30 mines. This is the Springsharp report:
