The original specification for the Ger/DL1915 design seems to be not feasible in Springsharp. Part of the problem is that the dimensions are small for the displacement. They should work, as they were inspired by the British Scott leaders, which were 1580 tons and 332.5ft x 31.75ft x 12.5ft. They were armed with 5-4.7in guns and 6-21in TT. The speed was to be 36 knots. If the Scott design would work, these should work, as well. This is my original specification:
Ger/DL/1915 332ft x 32ft x 12.7ft 5-5in guns, 4-23,6in TT
1800 tons Cp=0.60 Cm=0.8-
450 tons oil fuel 2,250 tons full load
45,000 SHP
900 tons of machinery 37.4 knots
In fact, only by using a large transom stern, a high freeboard, and a lower displacement and speed, all I was able to achieve was this:
Ger/DL/1915, Germany Destroyer Leader laid down 1915 (Engine 1950)

- Torpedoes: 7 tons, 0.4 %
Armour: 40 tons, 2.4 %
- Armament: 40 tons, 2.4 %
Machinery: 830 tons, 48.2 %
Hull, fittings & equipment: 525 tons, 30.5 %
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 234 tons, 13.6 %
Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0.0 %
Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
462 lbs / 210 Kg = 7.4 x 5.0 " / 127 mm shells or 0.3 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.07
Metacentric height 1.0 ft / 0.3 m
Roll period: 13.2 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 51 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.96
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.02
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has rise forward of midbreak,
a normal bow and large transom stern
Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.405 / 0.416
Length to Beam Ratio: 10.38 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 21.00 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 70 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 7.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = length of deck as a percentage of waterline length):
Fore end, Aft end
- Forecastle: 20.00 %, 23.00 ft / 7.01 m, 22.00 ft / 6.71 m
- Forward deck: 14.00 %, 22.00 ft / 6.71 m, 22.00 ft / 6.71 m
- Aft deck: 51.00 %, 14.00 ft / 4.27 m, 14.00 ft / 4.27 m
- Quarter deck: 15.00 %, 14.00 ft / 4.27 m, 14.00 ft / 4.27 m
- Average freeboard: 16.80 ft / 5.12 m
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 171.8 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 119.5 %
Waterplane Area: 6,807 Square feet or 632 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 72 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 35 lbs/sq ft or 172 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.45
- Longitudinal: 3.44
- Overall: 0.55
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is adequate
