Now that is an idea worth pursuing

Under the 1930 London Naval Arms Limitation Treaty ships of under 600 long tons were not counted against a nations overall totals for warship tonnage.
This led to Germanys attempts to design traditional steam powered Torpedo Boats that all came in above the limit but were left seriously compromised by the design decisions made in the attempt to get under 600 long tons.
Basically there were many successful designs of MTBs, MGBs etc. at less than a half or a third that displacement plus a number of small destroyer / large steam torpedo boats at about twice that limit but nothing that really worked around the 600 long ton limit.
My favourites the RN Steam Gun Boats, were 175 Tons Standard, the Hunt Class Destroyers were around 1000 to 1200 depending on variant, and for comparison the Bathurst Class Corvettes (designed as multi role Seaward Defence Vessels) were around 1000 Tons. I can't help but wonder if a viable multi role Steam Gun Boat / Torpedo Boat / Light Destroyer / Seaward defence vessel could have been designed at around the 600 Ton mark.

Some torpedo boats in the original sense.
