Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
938 lbs / 426 Kg = 20,2 x 4,5 " / 115 mm shells or 0,4 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,09

Nope, looks OK from here at a quick glance.

Ok, thanks

She looks grand, but at 2599 tons standard, I think refering to is as a DDL(destroyer, light) is pushing it a bit.

Did you mean DL (destroyer leader)?

Huh? I have never seen a ship being designated DL, what nation used that?

Have a look here!!

Someone else here uses it....I think

You live and learn, I must admit that I haven't heard of the CLK designation either

hehehe

I´m using LD as is light destroyer....
