Post-War Destroyer (1950 Modern Concept)
1950 Modern Concept - Gas Turbines & Computers (Future Design) - Concept design 1950: Post-War Destroyer. 1950 MODERN CONCEPT incorporating post-WWII technologies. Never built - Germany had no navy post-1945. 4,000 tons standard, 4× 12.8cm DP automatic guns, 6× 533mm torpedoes, 37 knots (estimated). GAS TURBINE PROPULSION (80,000 SHP - 1950s technology!), computer-based FCS, automatic gun mounts, reduced crew (350 vs. 400 via automation), modern radar integration. Transition to Cold War destroyer concepts. Theoretical study only - Germany demilitarized.
