[FT] DDs and DHs inspired by WW2 types

Subject: [FT] DDs and DHs inspired by WW2 types

I've been reading "Destroyers of WW2" lately, and devising some FT\FB1
destroyers derived from WW2 prototypes.  The Fleet Book designs are in a
more post-WW2 "DD\CL" style, and WW2-derived ships are more in the
"eggshell
with hammer" style.  They also tend to be a bit on the big side for FT
destroyers, to allow a bit more differentiation.  The flush decker
version1
is horribly vulnerable, and "Shimakaze" is just a monster, but I think
the
others are quite usable, especially the J/K/N and the Akizuki.
