Thanks, mate, then I will continue the work on it and explaining step by step how the ship is laid out and built and for what purpose. Always having in mind the technical aspects of the time BUT, repeating myself here, what by end 1939/beginning 1940 Germany could have achieved IF the new inventions had been object of governmental support in funding them and the experiments needed to evolve. Be it on the side of high pressure steam turbines, radar, radar guided fire-controls or whatever. And I like the interest this subject is beginning to have here! Thanks to all! And naming me, you can call me by my name, Carlos.

Thanks! I just posted yesterday the design I had already in my archives only to show what's already on the pipeline and I uploaded it as it is right now... The next evolution of the DD will have the proper credits.

One thing which goes inside my mind: WW II ships had already sonar. These devices, as we know, serve to detect underwater objects, mainly subs. BUT, would it be correct in the timeline of this AU to place a "forward scanning sonar array" in a bulbuous bow of a ship, able to detect mines floating near the surface in front of the ship? If yes, we could "invent" a bundle of forward throwing launching tubes with a range of, say, half a mile or a quarter of a mile, throwing water bombs equipped with a magnetic detonation devices. These bombs would be launched into the area in which the forward scanning sonar had detected a mine floating, making it to explode, right? These launchers existed, that's known, but would it be feasible to combine the sonar with those launchers? If yes, even only by a chance of 50% plausibility, that would be one of the major tasks of "my" DD presented above.

I could imagine a German equivalent to British ASDIC and why not Germans placed it in bow like you say above or under hull. Both positions could be tried out.

The Shipbucket rules about crediting applies to all drawings posted in our website, forum and discord server, simple "next version will have them" wont do, you need Place credits to all drawings.
