nice looking (albeit I think both of these classes have rather exessive freeboards compared to their piers in other navies)
Its also nice choise for going for larger ammount of 3 inch guns instead of the more standard 2-3 4 inch guns.

Well....the freeboard is because of Springsharp...it wouldn't make less freebaord seaworty

In 1905 was still 75mm standard for destroyers, it wasn't till around 1910 they stared to upgun the ships. The on following E class will carry less torpedoes and 4x 105mm QF guns a be abit broader

After the battle of Jutland the RSwN stopped all destroyer and torpedoboat construction for 4 months to make an analysis of the action. The result was the revolutionary new T-type destroyer, though similar to the most modern US and RN destroyers in size they are actually more similar to the 1930s superdestroyers in mission and fighting power. escially their lare torpedo battery could make any opposing admiral tremble....

They made good long service over world war 2 but where slowly overshadowed by more modern types of destroyers in the 1920s and 30s.

Very nice. But I think Springsharp underestimates coal bunker carried. On a ship that size I would expect six to ten times more coal carried... Real life swedish destroyers of similar size carried 170-220 tons of oil.

In the 1917 version I would move the B-mount slightly forward to make a little more space for the crew..

Yes...that would be wise....

I played around alot with range to make the hull work....it went bananas...so I might be an effect of that.

By the end of WWII the navy hade four unfinished hulls of heavy Uppland-class cruisers on slipways. When peace broke out the work was halted and the hulls where just waiting for a decision of what to do with them was made. When the RSwN saw the american and Dutch conversion of conventional cruisers into guided missles units they decided to go the same way. American missiles where licensened and the ships where finished as CLGs in early 1960s carrying RIM-8 Talos and RIM-24 Tartar missiles aswell as the domestic RB-08 ASM/ SLCM.

You don't have two AN/SPG-51s on there, you have two AN/SPG-60s

Your Mk-12 and Mk-11 GMLS magazines won't fit the way you have them (the Mk-12 requires a very large volume of space directly aft of the launcher while the Mk-11 requires the space directly below the launcher).

Ok..I'll change the directors

How much underdeck space does the MK-11 launcher need? I imagine that the Tartars are fed in the same way as the Talos - with a slight angel from behind. so that the long Talos missiles are coming up to launcher from a tunnel/ rail running under the mk-11 launcher.

1. Change place for the Tartar and Talos systems
2. Directors changed
