Interesting designs.
I am a little surprised at choosing the 10.5cm gun as the standard for the DD's. It would seem to leave you at a disadvantage when you go up against other DD's which had 4.7 - 5" main batteries. However standardization will have advantages.
The bulges and torpedo bulkheads seem a little 'much' for a destroyer class ship. Why add an extra meter or 2 to the beam a ship of this class?

why 105mm?
I chosse a 105mm L70 gun for early destroyers because then can I get more guns (4x2 turrets) and standardize all destroyers ammo, my next design - Bielke-class will carry 120mm guns, but less of them.

in Swedish destroyer tactics are the torpedo the main weapon, not the gun, the battleships support the massed destroyer attacks eith torpedoes not the other way around.
