Another try at the Ger/CS/1905 design

I have an semi-acceptable Springsharp 3.0b1 Beta design for the Ger/CS/1905 design. I have had trouble getting an acceptable photo, but this probably gives a good picture of one of the ships at speed:

I should be able to do better, I keep thinking. I was only able to achieve 35 knots, rather than 36 knots that I had hoped. This is with 52.395 SHP/ton machinery. Remember that with 1907 technology, the British Swift was able to produce 60 SHP/ton. The 52.395 should be reasonable, given that the British were able to do this with a similar ship. The main difficulty is that Springsharp requires too much power for the speed. This is the Springsharp report:

Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 171.3 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 142.0 %
