A couple of pages back, Wes mentioned something about switching some of the 40mm for 20mm, and adding some MG for protection against MTB's. Now, although Romania has three different types of medium calibre AA guns (65mm, 70mm, 75mm) on her ships, it appears I have nothing smaller than 20mm. Poland does though, and if Marek doesn't mind Romania using his MG, I added it on the ship. As well, I felt things might be getting a bit crowded on deck, and seeing as I can't draw decided to reduce the torpedo tubes from 8 to 4, here is the revised sim once again:

4 - 23.6" / 600 mm above water torpedoes
Machinery:
Diesel Internal combustion motors,
Geared drive, 2 shafts, 29,793 shp / 22,225 Kw = 34.00 kts
Range 3,000nm at 15.00 kts
Bunker at max displacement = 186 tons
Complement:
107 - 140
Cost:
£0.833 million / $3.330 million
Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
Armament: 26 tons, 2.0 %
Machinery: 616 tons, 47.7 %
Hull, fittings & equipment: 447 tons, 34.5 %
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 154 tons, 11.9 %
Miscellaneous weights: 50 tons, 3.9 %
Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
481 lbs / 218 Kg = 11.9 x 4.3 " / 110 mm shells or 0.3 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.34
Metacentric height 1.5 ft / 0.4 m
Roll period: 10.8 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 62 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.25
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.24
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
and transom stern
Block coefficient: 0.415
Length to Beam Ratio: 12.00 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 22.00 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 64 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 30.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 19.69 ft / 6.00 m
- Forecastle (20 %): 16.40 ft / 5.00 m
- Mid (50 %): 16.40 ft / 5.00 m
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 9.84 ft / 3.00 m
- Stern: 9.84 ft / 3.00 m
- Average freeboard: 14.53 ft / 4.43 m
Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 174.0 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 137.3 %
Waterplane Area: 7,518 Square feet or 698 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 68 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 30 lbs/sq ft or 146 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.50
- Longitudinal: 1.84
- Overall: 0.57
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily
