      - Stern:      8.01 ft / 2.44 m
      - Average freeboard:   9.93 ft / 3.03 m
   Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
   Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 180.3 %
      - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 48.4 %
   Waterplane Area: 3,147 Square feet or 292 Square metres
   Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 44 %
   Structure weight / hull surface area: 23 lbs/sq ft or 113 Kg/sq metre
   Hull strength (Relative):
      - Cross-sectional: 0.50

Like most emergency designs, it's okay.  It'll certainly do for screening your larger units.

Did you consider a L:B ratio of around 11:1 and slighter deeper draught?  Or do you prefer 10:1 as a design feature?
Title: Re: Brandenburg War Emergency Torpedobooten

Design Specifications:
1.) Must fit in Type 0 Slipway
2.) 30kts or greater speed
3.) 5000@ 12kts or better range
4.) 500t or less

If I decrease beam to get 11:1 it kills the steadiness, but w/ the deeper draft does improve sea keeping, but only to 0.78.

Steadiness will suffer, but shooting at stuff is probably third on her to-do list behind depth-charging stuff and torpedoing stuff.

Actually it's fifth. Behind Depth-Charging stuff, Torpedoing stuff, scouting stuff, and running away from stuff.  ;)

with one gun she's not going to hit much at medium or long range anyway...

still better than the 5cm armed DKB GTBs though :)

...Shorter range is not a problem...
...Speed is also enough to work with the fleet...

because, this class is made for coastal operations.

Good concept

;)
