How about an option to have shielded or enclosed gun mounts on destroyers? It was pretty common IRL from about 1930 onwards. Maybe limit destroyers to no more than 1.5 inches on gun mounts.

some amount of dd armor was also present for protecting the machinery
maybe give them the ability to have 1 inch belt and turret armor ? (still vulnerable to splinters but should help a slight bit)

Without increasing DD displacement limit rarely anyone will see a benefit in using them, though.
Btw, you already can place armour on DD's conning tower.

Remove the limitation that DDs can't be armored outright, and for DDs remove the limitation that you must have belt armor to have gun armor. Max DD armor at 2". Much more realistic (the Russians for example built armored DDs), allows gunshields but not enclosed turrets, and makes destroyers less squishy in general (I find DDs tend to just eat a hail of 6" shells and die immediately).
