A new design series starting with the GB/DD/1914

One of my main concerns about Springsharp is that destroyer machinery is too heavy. I believe that this will eventually be corrected, perhaps in the next version. I thought that the next design series should study British destroyers. This is my concept for a 1914 British design: the GB/DD/1914. I wanted 1,000 tons , or so, at least 34 knots, and a 3,500nm range. The armament is not particularly interesting, but reasonable at 4-4in QF, 1-6pdr AA, and 4-21in TT. One gun is superfiring. This is the Springsharp report:

    Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0.0 %

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
    Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):

    Metacentric height 1.3 ft / 0.4 m
    Roll period: 10.6 seconds
    Steadiness    - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 52 %
            - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.37
    Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.03

Hull form characteristics:
    Hull has rise forward of midbreak
      and transom stern
    Block coefficient: 0.374
    Length to Beam Ratio: 9.66 : 1
    'Natural speed' for length: 19.50 kts
    Power going to wave formation at top speed: 72 %
    Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
    Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
    Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
    Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
       - Stem:        22.00 ft / 6.71 m
       - Forecastle (20 %):    20.00 ft / 6.10 m

       - Stern:        12.00 ft / 3.66 m
       - Average freeboard:    14.96 ft / 4.56 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
    Space    - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 191.1 %
        - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 98.1 %
    Waterplane Area: 5,125 Square feet or 476 Square metres
    Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 46 %
