You know Torpedo Tubes takes quite a lot of space, right? The only destroyer that I recall having TTs mounted on the port & starboard instead of the centerline are the French ones. Your funnel & superstructure still does not make sense. |

And Rhade the closest role you would have for her IRL is a Rapid-cruiser or as a very fast light cruiser.
You talk about class ... I ask about role of that ship ... you know what role mean ?

And whole line of Yanks flush-decks.

APDAF, you claim your ship to be a "rapid cruiser" or "Very fast" light cruiser. For it to be counted as such, one would expect a contracted speed of AT LEAST 35-36 knots. You won't be able to do that with said hull proportions. Rhade, I would like to point out that all kinds of ships are named after their mission. |

Well in IRL terms yes but in Britannain terms more like 25-30 knot as a "light cruiser" to them is a Protected cruiser as the Imperial Britannain Navy is rather slow to adopt Ideas it does not come up with itself as most of the admirals don't like change. |

Oh, a wide variety of curses in Swedish, English, Polish, German and Japanese. Punt in some Spanish for good measure as well. I guess we better make it official that the following fifty-eleven pages will discuss the flaws of this AU and the absurd conservatism of it yet again. APDAF, that means that we'de come of with 18-knots average WW1-style battleships. |

Yes, but destroyer is a multi task ship ... also cruisers tasks change with time. APDAF say that:
She is designed for a role that does not exist in the real world.
in that case I was wonder what is that mistery role ... what this ship will do, for what task is created that not exist in IRL. Hunt a gigantic robotic whales of Amazon ?

uhm...... could you do us an favor and use the real life names for your ships? I don't care what the brittanian navy calls them, an light cruiser is not an protected cruiser. you also know, that 25 knots would make your ships being overtaken by the battleships and especially the battlecruisers in all but the easiest weather? your ship has just lost the battle. which one? every one, as long as you keep using ships like these. |

That sounds more like a desperate answer just to keep your decision. Human decision like what you have stated is completely circumstantial. Everything that everyone here says is countered by the same answer about some emperor or admiral not wanting something. I honestly think that this AU is gonna go down.

also, keep in mind that the RN was kind of conservative as well (look for example at the fact that steam turbines were used on battleships only after jackie fisher took the initiative) |

I suggest saving ammunition by stopping firing broadside upon broadside into this AU; it's already a burning hulk that's struggling to float. |
