I have a nice pencil sketch and a specification for the Ger/CL/1914 light cruiser design dating from 1971. The ship is a very German-looking three-stacked ship. This is the original specification:
Ger/CL/1914 40 mines 3,500 tons Standard 9-5in QF 4-21in TT 430ft x 40ft x 16ft
32 knots 60,000 SHP @ 45 SHP/ton Cp=0.56
Machinery= 1,335 tons
Hull= 1,500 tons
Protection= 110 tons 1in protective deck
700 tons oil fuel 105 tons of feed water 4,305 tons full load
Cost=£315,000

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
2,706 lbs / 1,227 Kg = 43.3 x 5.0 " / 127 mm shells or 0.7 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.14
Metacentric height 1.6 ft / 0.5 m
Roll period: 13.2 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 52 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.50
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.04
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has rise forward of midbreak
Block coefficient: 0.499
Length to Beam Ratio: 10.75 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 20.74 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 63 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 4.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 2.00 ft / 0.61 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 25.00 ft / 7.62 m
- Forecastle (20 %): 22.00 ft / 6.71 m
- Mid (33 %): 22.00 ft / 6.71 m (14.00 ft / 4.27 m aft of break)
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 14.00 ft / 4.27 m
- Stern: 14.00 ft / 4.27 m
- Average freeboard: 16.88 ft / 5.15 m
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 127.8 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 115.6 %
Waterplane Area: 11,445 Square feet or 1,063 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 106 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 68 lbs/sq ft or 330 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.84
- Longitudinal: 2.14
- Overall: 0.92
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is adequate
