In this case, there are few specifications to go with the pencil sketch. I am even uncertain of the designation. Besides the drawing, the only specifications given were:
4-5in guns, 6-23.6in TT
Dimensions: 390ft x 40ft
I extrapolated from that to be able to do a Springsharp design. I thought that a ship of this length should be able to achieve 36 knots. To do that, I had to increase the freeboard by a foot, to maintain adequate seakeeping. This is the Springsharp report:
Ger/DD/1915, Germany Destroyer laid down 1915 (Engine 1933)
Displacement:
2,225 t light; 2,297 t standard; 2,580 t normal; 2,806 t full load
Dimensions: Length overall / water x beam x draught
392.36 ft / 390.00 ft x 40.00 ft x 13.00 ft (normal load)
119.59 m / 118.87 m x 12.19 m x 3.96 m
Armament:
4 - 5.00" / 127 mm guns in single mounts, 62.50lbs / 28.35kg shells, 1915 Model
Quick firing guns in deck mounts with hoists
on centreline ends, evenly spread, 2 raised mounts - superfiring
Weight of broadside 250 lbs / 113 kg
Shells per gun, main battery: 150
6 - 23.6" / 600.0001 mm above water torpedoes
Machinery:
Oil fired boilers, steam turbines,
Geared drive, 2 shafts, 59,049 shp / 44,051 Kw = 36.00 kts
Range 5,400nm at 15.00 kts
Bunker at max displacement = 509 tons
Complement:
180 - 235
Cost:
£0.446 million / $1.784 million
Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
Armament: 31 tons, 1.2 %
Machinery: 1,447 tons, 56.1 %
Hull, fittings & equipment: 747 tons, 28.9 %
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 355 tons, 13.8 %
Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0.0 %
Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
703 lbs / 319 Kg = 11.2 x 5.0 " / 127 mm shells or 0.3 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.49
Metacentric height 2.5 ft / 0.8 m
Roll period: 10.6 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 54 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.25
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.08
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has rise forward of midbreak
and transom stern
Block coefficient: 0.445
Length to Beam Ratio: 9.75 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 22.74 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 70 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 3.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 1.00 ft / 0.30 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 26.00 ft / 7.92 m
- Forecastle (20 %): 24.00 ft / 7.32 m
- Mid (34 %): 24.00 ft / 7.32 m (16.00 ft / 4.88 m aft of break)
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 16.00 ft / 4.88 m
- Stern: 16.00 ft / 4.88 m
- Average freeboard: 18.88 ft / 5.75 m
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 190.2 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 128.3 %
Waterplane Area: 10,296 Square feet or 957 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 70 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 36 lbs/sq ft or 175 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.45
- Longitudinal: 2.41
- Overall: 0.53
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
