A generic 1905 Tribal class destroyer
I am shocked. I was able to make a generic 1905 British Tribal class destroyer work in Springsharp 3.0b2 Beta. This is a class of ship that eventually carried 2-4in QF guns and 2-18in TT. They were originally intended to have a speed of 33 knots and carry 90 tons of oil fuel. I have done pretty well, I think, except that my ship is very light, and depends on the lightest weight machinery:
