Room for accommodation and workspaces is cramped
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily
Forget oil firing until you have the tech researched.
A transom stern?
Ahoj!
No transom stern.

Ill comment once Ithekro's question is answered: http://www.navalism.org/index.php?topic=611.msg3834#msg3834
Where's the linkage? Did you use transoms previously?
I answered those questions - whuch had essentially nothing to do with this ship which you cannot build within your tech capacity.
@ Rocky, no I have not used transoms previously, I even spoke against them when the END destroyers came out. But the rules have become so strict, that the only way I was going to be able to build what I had planned* was by using transoms, despite all my new ships being repeats of ones already in service.
* revealed in 1904:
2 Heavy Cruisers
3 Light Cruisers
17 Destroyers

I am willing to modify the rules to specifically prohibiting transom stern if you really insist.
Foxy: I can sympathize, to a point. I had much more effective battleships planned than I am currently able to build.
I'm sure you can still build effective ships without the transom. They won't as wide a margin of superiority over the rest of us as you'd like, but I reckon you ought to be capable of using the advanced tech you do have to keep ahead of us for a while yet.
But what if your entire fleet is built around speed? And suddenly you cant have that speed?
Better? Fits the rules even if its somewhat realistic.
