The F/CL/1933 light cruiser design

The F/CL/1933 design for a light cruiser benefits by the improvement in machinery between 1927 and 1933 (with a four year incremented added to bring the date to 1937). I was able to decrease the displacement by 100 tons, and add one triple turret to the main armament and another pair of twin 90mm AA guns. The result is more reasonable for the size. This is the Springsharp report:

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
 Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
   13,116 lbs / 5,949 Kg = 115.4 x 6.1 " / 155 mm shells or 1.7 torpedoes
 Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.26
 Metacentric height 3.4 ft / 1.0 m
 Roll period: 13.4 seconds
 Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 52 %
   - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.48
 Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.04

Hull form characteristics:
 Hull has rise forward of midbreak
 Block coefficient: 0.591
 Length to Beam Ratio: 11.10 : 1
 'Natural speed' for length: 25.59 kts
 Power going to wave formation at top speed: 59 %

Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 170.7 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 168.4 %
 Waterplane Area: 28,029 Square feet or 2,604 Square metres
