37 knots had always been the nominal speed of the Fantasque class. They could reach 43 knots (45 knots for Le Terrible) when their engines were overcharged and for a limited time : they had a power of 74 000 shp and Le Terrible established his world record during test when pushing its engine up to 101 876 shp !

So they didn't became slower after refit, they just kept their nominal speed when the US reclassified them as CL to match their own classification. Overall they were quite good ships and 4 of them did fought throughout the war and survived.

Stat wise, i think they will be close to Shimakaze with more FP and less torpedo. They could been fitted with their own boiler, triple 550 mm torpedoes and their 5.4 inch guns. Maybe they will even have medium range (138.6 mm/50 French guns = 20 km max range at a 30° angle ; 14 cm/50 Japanese guns = 19.1 km max range at a 30° angle)
