Not even the oil sprey (10% Oil) that is allowed without the oil burner tech?
Speed At least 30 Knots
Quote
Seakeeping no lower than 1.0
At what speed? Is it at least 1,0 at 30 kts, or is it at top speed (effectively ruling out designs faster then 32-33kts)?
Based on the Lavi II design. There's quite a bit of growth potential. Also why the all coal fired designs? I would think that the Ottomans have more than enough oil to meet their needs.

1.0 seakeeping @ top speed. If you look at the other nations in the Med or Black Sea.
The Hapsburgs 31 knots @ 1.0 sea keeping for their 1,000 ton ships
The Iberians 30 knots @ 1.2 sea keeping for their 1,000 ton ships
The Italians 29.5 & 30 knots @ 1.0 sea keeping for their 1,000 ton ships
Russia has two 30 knot DD's one a poor seaboat and one a 1.0 for 1,000 tons
Ukraine has a 28 knot TB @ 1.0 sea keeping for a 750 ton ship.
The Ottomans need to build against these ships and be able to keep up with them. (I don't want to have to compare designs to see who has a better sea keeping at X speed; anything less than 1.0 sea keeping at top speed is going to be ignored.)
10% oil would be fine as thats within their tech base.

They don't have the tech to do otherwise and I can't do anything about it till they are caught up.

The design might not match ottoman requirement on the issue of sea keeping at top speed and she uses oil spray for reaching top speed (90% coal). However she do exceed the speed requirement by a wide margin, infect she would be the fastest ships in the Mediterranean.
Her range at top speed is however just 140nm, but increasing bukerage would lower her speed.
She is significantly faster they any possible adversaries, and she match or is superior to them all when it comes to armament.
The gunshields are thick enough to stop anti-personnel shrapnel and small arms fire as well as serving as weather shields.
Her seakeeping is 1,0 @ 30,5 kts, and 1,04 @ 30 kts (for comparison at "baseline" speed).

Look at the last class of TB this has 50% more range than that one. Also the Turks are limited to twin torp tubes are you assuming three twin mounts? Would there be the deck space for that and four gun mounts?

Like I said, I know range is an issue, but at the same time I do think that trying to compromise with DDs only lead to ships unsuited to any mission; one should concentrate on a single aspect were the ships will be capable. This design concentrate on being useful as a torpedo fighter, hence the focus on speed. I will post a more "Dutch" DD design when I get back home (visiting my parent ATM, no SS on this laptop).
As for deckaspace, did a drawing of a DD for china with similar parameters. : http://www.navalism.org/index.php?topic=3049.msg32965#msg32965

Indeed, firepower is never a bad thing.
But I think in the end it depends on how they are intended to be used. If they are to be able to attack aggressively (against larger ships), with torpedoes as the main weapon, then I would go for the faster one. If her function would be more skirmishing with her equals, then I would go for the well armed one. Her firepower advantage over potential opposing TBs/DDs in the med is significant (with the exception of some Italian boats), allowing her to dominate in smaller ship combat.
As I see it the Ottomans view the Aegean as being hostile waters in any future war. At the same time there is no reason that anyone else should have a free ride there. My intention is to create a navy thats mission is to deny other forces access to Ottoman Coastal waters. Hence the focus on mines, cruisers and torpedo boats. So going after large ships is the primary mission but running into enemy torpedo boats and cruisers is very likely.

A mix then: with "gun" DDs on patrol to engage and destroy enemy light forces, and "Torpedo" DDs making quick raids as well as attacks on larger enemy ships that are brought in to support their outgunned light forces?
The Ottomans might we well served with two classes here, I think, as Korpen suggests.
In fact, the Confederate Naval Attaché serendipitously (almost as if he was reading Ottoman minds I tell you!) has just delivered a brochure containing the particulars of the current class of Confederate torpedo boats for Ottoman review:
http://www.navalism.org/index.php?topic=3163.msg33697#msg33697
A quick back of the envelope calculation reveals the expected range of such a boat with 90% coal fuel to be 2350 nm at 12 knots, or roughly 8 hours at max speed.
The Zionite Lavis, as designed, not only pack 5x5" guns but can also carry 50 mines.
New Zion is not allowed to sell completed ships to other countries, but the treaty says nothing about exporting oil fired turbines...
I don't see the space for the deck layout for that ship that would work. If you want to sell some tech I will soon be putting out requests for the ottomans.
