My most successful Ger/DM/1913 design

My Ger/DM/1913 design would have had one ship built to it, named the Meteor, after the real German minelayer. The specifications are very demanding for the current state of the art Springsharp:

Ger/DM/1913  Meteor  

1600 tons   350ft x 36ft

2-6in guns and 250 mines   40,000 SHP = 35 knots

I had to have a draft that is too deep for a ship of that size and a freeboard that is rather high. Still, I have never been able to do this well:

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
 Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
   628 lbs / 285 Kg = 5.8 x 6.0 " / 152 mm shells or 0.4 torpedoes
 Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.10
 Metacentric height 1.3 ft / 0.4 m
 Roll period: 13.3 seconds
 Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 50 %

 Hull has rise forward of midbreak,
   a normal bow and large transom stern
 Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.432 / 0.440
 Length to Beam Ratio: 9.72 : 1
 'Natural speed' for length: 21.59 kts

Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 159.9 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 174.8 %
 Waterplane Area: 8,228 Square feet or 764 Square metres
 Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 74 %

  - Longitudinal: 2.76
  - Overall: 0.52
 Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
 Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
