The Ger/DL/1916 design study
I have this sketch and short specification for a large German destroyer with 4-6in guns and 4-21in TT. There are dimensions and a displacement of 2,450 tons mentioned, but no speed. I was able to obtain a 35 knot speed. My Springsharp design came out much lighter than the 2,450 tons:
