A 5.25-inch super-Tribal crosses into cruiser territory

A heavily armed Tribal derivative is placed among the real design ladder that led toward the Dido-class cruiser.

Question

What would a super-Tribal with four twin 5.25-inch turrets and a quintuple torpedo launcher amount to?

Short answer

It resembles real design studies, but the armament and displacement would make it a capable cruiser-sized ship rather than an ordinary destroyer.

Notes

The proposed ship combines a quintuple torpedo launcher with four twin 5.25-inch turrets. It resembles design studies above the Tribals and below the Didos rather than an isolated fantasy. The resulting vessel would be powerful, but its size and gun battery push it into cruiser territory. Destroyer requirements can grow until the label no longer matches the ship.
