New DD layout

[Korpen]

Thinking about the layout for the next Dutch torpedo-gunboat.
C: drawing it the one that closes follows on the previous two classes, only difference is adopting twins instead of single mounts.
B: Is the oddball, with no raised gun forward, and a much more even distribution of the gun mounts. The weight saved by one less gun mount it not significant, just two tons or so.
A; Puts the amidships gun between the funnels, a more protected position then on C, but with slightly worse firing arcs forward.

Which would You go for? (and why)

Nice drawings

But, with the funnels place & angle, for 30kts or much, I am not sure that you have enough place for the boilers

Funnel placement is about the same as most DDs in periods, such as Leone or W&V.
