[TLAM Strike]

I’ve suggested the mods start a design competition in the Comments to Subsim board. If none are interested I’ll start one along with anyone else interested in helping with the judging (or it could be a community vote based system if that doesn’t work out).

I've been able to make a few somewhat succesful DDs and Escorts, Here is an example:

Machinery:
Diesel Internal combustion motors,
Geared drive, 2 shafts, 27,657 shp / 20,632 Kw = 29.00 kts

Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
Armament: 3 tons, 0.1 %
Armour: 537 tons, 17.9 %
- Belts: 155 tons, 5.2 %
- Torpedo bulkhead: 66 tons, 2.2 %
- Armament: 7 tons, 0.2 %
- Armour Deck: 295 tons, 9.8 %
- Conning Tower: 13 tons, 0.4 %
Machinery: 748 tons, 25.0 %
Hull, fittings & equipment: 1,099 tons, 36.6 %
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 313 tons, 10.4 %
Miscellaneous weights: 300 tons, 10.0 %

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
3,632 lbs / 1,647 Kg = 269.0 x 3.0 " / 76 mm shells or 1.2 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.08
Metacentric height 1.5 ft / 0.4 m
Roll period: 19.1 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 80 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.01
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.45

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has raised forecastle, rise forward of midbreak, raised quarterdeck
and transom stern
Block coefficient: 0.284
Length to Beam Ratio: 5.09 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 21.36 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 69 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 55
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 8.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 1.00 ft / 0.30 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 22.00 ft / 6.71 m
- Forecastle (25 %): 22.00 ft / 6.71 m (20.00 ft / 6.10 m aft of break)
- Mid (50 %): 20.00 ft / 6.10 m (16.00 ft / 4.88 m aft of break)
- Quarterdeck (18 %): 19.00 ft / 5.79 m (16.00 ft / 4.88 m before break)
- Stern: 19.00 ft / 5.79 m
- Average freeboard: 19.04 ft / 5.80 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 186.3 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 133.5 %
Waterplane Area: 7,974 Square feet or 741 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 127 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 63 lbs/sq ft or 308 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.71
- Longitudinal: 9.91
- Overall: 0.93
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily

Its possable but difficult.
