I like the little protected cruiser.
I keep trying to design one in the 3-4,000 range,
but by time my design parameters are met they are 5,000-6,000.

Since I got asked about it on my Riverboat, I'll question the climitization of the last several designs.
This is pre-Air conditioning, so the only thing you can be doing is forcing air through the boat faster,
or possibly having cooling coils in seawater.

2 - 17.7" / 450 mm, 17.72 ft / 5.40 m torpedoes - 0.645 t each, 1.291 t total
   submerged bow & stern tubes

Also, before Snip gets grumpy, I'll point out we've repeatedly been told not to put the torpedo tubes on that tab, just use misc weight.
Shame because I kinda like seeing it printed out.

As nice as it is, the way SS handles it is all shot to hell. If I knew enough about how the program worked to fix it...
