The Ger/DD/1905 design in Springsharp 3.0b2 Beta
I have really struggled to get the Ger/DD/1905 design to work in Springsharp 3.0b2. To achieve adequate seakeeping, the displacement had to be reduced considerably. Because of that, hull strength became an issue. This is a 32 knot ship with 2-4in QF guns and 2-18in TT. The ship has three funnels and a raised forecastle. This is a photograph of a Ger/DD/1905 destroyer:
This is the Springsharp report:
