Springsharp 3.0b2 Beta can't deal with the Italian Capitani Romani class
I was disappointed that the Italian Captani Romani class doesn't work in Springsharp 3.0b2. I would have to alter the design a great deal to have acceptable performance. I believe that the issue is machinery that is too heavy for the power. By radically reducing the speed and displacement, I was able to have adequate strength and seakeeping, but the speed is a ridiculous 32 knots. If someone has a magic formula to make the design work, I would be interested. I already increased the draft to help. This is a good data and picture page. This is the Springsharp report:
