Another attempt at the Ger/CS/1905 scout cruiser

I just used Springsharp 3.0b1 Beta to do a design for the Ger/CS/1905 scout cruiser, which was my attempt at a "Super Swift", except for 1905 for the Germans. My version that I intended to produce in numbers was to have 2in armour over the machinery spaces. I could only manage 34 knots, rather than the hoped for 36 knots. The problem was seakeeping, primarily. This is my drawing of one of the ships:

This is the Springsharp report:

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
 Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
   681 lbs / 309 Kg = 21.3 x 4.0 " / 102 mm shells or 0.4 torpedoes
 Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.30
 Metacentric height 1.9 ft / 0.6 m
 Roll period: 11.7 seconds
 Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 53 %
   - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.15
 Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.02

Hull form characteristics:
 Hull has raised forecastle,
   a normal bow and a round stern
 Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.415 / 0.424
 Length to Beam Ratio: 9.74 : 1
 'Natural speed' for length: 19.24 kts
 Power going to wave formation at top speed: 68 %
 Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 52
 Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 5.00 degrees
 Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
 Freeboard (% = length of deck as a percentage of waterline length):
    Fore end,  Aft end

    - Forward deck: 30.00 %,  14.00 ft / 4.27 m,  14.00 ft / 4.27 m
    - Aft deck: 27.00 %,  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:  16.46 ft / 5.02 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 164.6 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 129.4 %
 Waterplane Area: 8,736 Square feet or 812 Square metres
 Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 74 %
 Structure weight / hull surface area: 35 lbs/sq ft or 170 Kg/sq metre

  - Overall: 0.56
 Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
 Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
