This was a big problem. This was the first time I use the block coefficient. So I don't know if this is a destroyer or the most expensive and immobile submarine in history.

First and foremost I think you can adjust the Length to beam ratio to somethin closer to 10 to 1, anything over has a negative effect on structural strength in springsharp. Try adding 2 feet to the beam. You can also change the Block Coefficient to something like .430.

Okay, then. I couldn't took the a beam to 10,5 but I go as close as a could.

You should also just eliminate the armoured deck. It's accounting for 143 tons of your total ship. Destroyers (of almost any era, with very few exceptions) tend to be constructed with no armour outside of their gun turrets and sometimes conning towers. On occasion, the building materials might be heavier (for instance, using... say, 0.75 inch hull plates rather than 0.50 inch hull plates) but that really doesn't count as armour proper.

You might want to start fiddling with the stability / steadiness slider. Your stability of 1.56 is fairly high, but the steadiness of 50 is only average. I usually try to get 70 steadiness and 1.10 stability. Once I've got the 70 steadiness (if I can manage it), the rest I'll account to stability.

One final comment. I see you used electric motors for power transmission. That's fairly unique (although I have used it in many of my ships); geared drives cover probably 95% of the market post 1910ish.

I must have misclicked, it was pretend to have geared drives, I sorry about that mistake. I never took the steadiness in consideration so I never used it. Was interesting to say the least.
