The amount of belt armor on such a small vessel seems overkill. Likewise the gun armor for the main armament.

Where would such a well-armed vessel be ‘enforcing customs’? Unless the term is used generically like US Coast Guard cutters, it seems far too large and too well armed for simple customs enforcement.
I cannot find technical faults in the design of the large customs cruiser, however…
1 – Putting the 120mm dual purpose guns in turrets (with barbettes) on such a small hull is questionable. A deck mount with hoist would suffice and would be so much more economical.
2- The amount of belt armor on such a small vessel seems overkill. Likewise the gun armor for the main armament.
3 – Where would such a well-armed vessel be ‘enforcing customs’? Unless the term is used generically like US Coast Guard cutters, it seems far too large and too well armed for simple customs enforcement.
The small customs cruiser is another matter.
1 – Its speed is excessive for its probable mission, but has been raised to that level to escape the provision of the Gentlemen’s rules regarding the minimum strength of vessels.
2- This in turn has led to extremely poor sea-boat ratings for a vessel that should be capable of carrying out its duties in all weathers.
