I suspect this has more freeboard than it really needs. Here's a picture of a (more or less) standard US sub chaser from WW1:
(http://www.subchaser.org/system/files/24-SC-21-SC-19-winter.jpg)
These are, after all, small coastal boats for the most part.
If you reduce freeboard some, I suspect you could shrink her a bit more.
I like these. Ireland might be interested in buying some of these, or the licenses to build them.
Hmm I'm glad to see you were thinking of them too Snip, I was going to include them in my footnotes for Eire.
bit off topic: did you get all the data compiled? I could use it ASAP
Yea I was going to send it to you yesterday night, but my internet shut down and I lost the message. Expect the PM in about an hour.
ok thanks a ton
Sorry for hijacking the thread
Redesign. Also note that the 37mm AA could quite easily be trained downward towards subs, MTBs, or other small craft. Also could be used as a "Coast Guard" vessel.

Too much armament. You need at least 11 people to operate the guns (3+4+4).
For coastguard stuff I'd rather have a vessel with W/T.

Interesting on the guns, I hadn't considered that. As to W/T, it has one. We don't have to do misc weight for short range W/T anymore, remember?
P3D - I doubt that they'd be manning all the guns, all the time.
You'd probably have different 'attack stations':
1.) Submerged Attack: 4 - 6 men on the DC racks, and others manning the ship.
2.) Surface Attack: 4 - 6 men on the 88mm, 4 on standby for the 37mm, and others manning the ship.
3.) Air Action: 4 men on the 37mm, 4 men on the 7mm's and others manning the ship.
It's a VERY small ship, and probably only needs 6-8 men to actually operate it.
1.) Commander
2.) Helmsman
3.) Navigator
4.) Engineer
5.) Engineer's Mate*
6.) Engineer's Mate*
The rest of the men would include a dedicated Weapon's Officer (for overseeing the 88mm and DC's), several men cross-trained as Engineer's Mates^ and Gunner's Mates, and a backup for the Navigator who could also do some other work about the ship. The 88mm could operate for a couple of minutes on the ammo in the ready locker, so technically, 3 men could handle it for the crucial first couple of minutes if a sub surfaces. The 37mm would be similar- one handler and one gunner would be able to take on most of the 'immediate need' situations.
*One Per Engine
^ All the Engineer's Mates would be cross-trained
Sorry, but I just cannot see a 75t boat taking more AA armament than the latest class of DKB destroyers. Also, a full-power 88mm gun might be too heavy, so most probably it is a short-barreled gun:
http://navweaps.com/Weapons/WNGER_88mm-30_skc97.htm
The US subchasers had a crew of 22+2 officers - with less guns, so I'd doubt you could get much below it (even given the USN tendency to cram the highest amount of people in any vessel, then some), unless you are willing to forego detection equipment.

Nice. I'd argue for a single shaft, and dispense with the 25mm armor on the bridge, but all of them are cosmetic changes and won't affect the ships' ability to any degree.

Actually just going to 1 shaft gave me 0.01 overall strength extra, the 25mm armor on the bridge gave me another 0.01. So I upped the speed a little and cut 25nm from the range.

I'm not really a huge fan of the very low BC.
It's a narrow supersized motor boat w/ guns with the same dimentions as an OTL ship. If I make the BC any higher, what pray tell, should I due with the extra tonnage? Faster's not really useful, neither is more range. P3D has already pointed out that more guns make little sense as does more armor.
Shrink the other dimensions?

What is the point of the belt and armored deck? It's too small a ship to be of much use and too thin to protect it from anything.

Machine gun fire. For some reason some people don't like it when you order them to heave too and allow you to board. They like to shoot back and I like to not have my boat full of little holes.
For Policing actions I can see it's needed for the Bridge (add some splinter armour?), CT and Guns - not so sure about the deck or belt ...
- alternative to make it smaller + cheaper??
