The Ger/DD/1915 is one of the last designs in the "Blue Book" from the early 1970's. This is the original specification:
Ger/DD/1915
800 tons 20,000 SHP at 45 SHP/ton
240ft x 26ft Depth = 20ft
Cp = 0.58 Cm = 0.80
Weights:
Armament 20 tons
Machinery 444 tons
Hull 272 tons
Miscellaneous 64 tons
Oil fuel 200 tons
Feedwater 50 tons Full load 1050 tons
2-4in guns (1.7 ton) and 4-21in TT 20 mines on deck

Cost:
£0.139 million / $0.556 million
Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
Armament: 23 tons, 2.6 %
- Guns: 18 tons, 2.0 %
- Torpedoes: 5 tons, 0.6 %
Armour: 26 tons, 3.0 %
- Armament: 26 tons, 3.0 %
Machinery: 447 tons, 50.8 %
Hull, fittings & equipment: 245 tons, 27.9 %
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 118 tons, 13.4 %
Miscellaneous weights: 20 tons, 2.3 %
- On freeboard deck: 20 tons
Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
216 lbs / 98 Kg = 6.8 x 4.0 " / 102 mm shells or 0.2 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.15
Metacentric height 0.9 ft / 0.3 m
Roll period: 11.8 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 50 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.27
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.01
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has raised forecastle,
a normal bow and a cruiser stern
Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.395 / 0.406
Length to Beam Ratio: 9.23 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 15.49 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 74 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 6.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 6.00 ft / 1.83 m
Freeboard (% = length of deck as a percentage of waterline length):
Fore end, Aft end
- Forecastle: 20.00 %, 22.00 ft / 6.71 m, 21.00 ft / 6.40 m
- Forward deck: 30.00 %, 13.00 ft / 3.96 m, 13.00 ft / 3.96 m
- Aft deck: 35.00 %, 13.00 ft / 3.96 m, 13.00 ft / 3.96 m
- Quarter deck: 15.00 %, 13.00 ft / 3.96 m, 13.00 ft / 3.96 m
- Average freeboard: 14.68 ft / 4.47 m
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 170.6 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 84.1 %
Waterplane Area: 3,828 Square feet or 356 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 60 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 25 lbs/sq ft or 120 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.39
- Longitudinal: 5.29
- Overall: 0.51
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is cramped
