and that darught of the Arethusas was normal displacement? or light? dou you have technical data for them that isn't W1 - which always seems to quote light displacement ...

thanks

To quote myself:

"The british ARETHUSAs for example had an average draught of 4,21m accourding to Whitley."

Average draught (or mittlerer Tiefgang in german) is the term used by Whitley. There is no further information regarding displacement but he lists the Ks at 5,56m average draught and we know they had such a draught at max. displacement. Thus I guess 4,21m for the ARETHUSAs also refers to max. displacement but I can hardly believe that.

Other stats by Whitley:

Standarddisplacement 5220ts to 5270ts (or 5304t to 5354t) variing among the class

So called "Einsatzverdrängung" (normal displacement?) 6665ts to 6715ts (or 6772t to 6822t)

length (overall) 152,4m
length (CWL) 146,3m

beam 15,54m

draught 4,21m

That´s all I have at hand right now except for some webpages like

which have to be taken with a grain of salt.

Hope this helps,
