The J/DD/1941 is disappointing
I had hoped that the J/DD/1941 could have a speed of 36 knots, but the cost is too great. Springsharp continues to be a problem because the power required is greater than it should be. I had to be content to raise the range to 7,200nm at 15 knots. This is the Springsharp report:
