How powerful could a roughly 3,000-ton Tribal-class destroyer become?
Short answerIt could carry four twin medium-caliber mounts, around ten torpedoes, and more practical reload systems.
NotesAt roughly 2,900-3,000 tons, a Tribal-class destroyer could become substantially more powerful than the historical ship. Four twin 4.5- or 4.7-inch mountings would be plausible, with triple turrets at least technically conceivable. About ten torpedoes and proper reload machinery would deepen its striking power. The larger hull therefore buys more weapons and the handling systems needed to use reloads at sea.
