A armed and armored zeppelin style warship that flies and fights using the Movecraft plugin. The TNT cannon turrets work even without the plugin, in either Minecraft 1.7.x or 1.8
Background
After the disastrous failed invasion of South Haven (See Minecraft Airship Pirates Episode 17) it became aparent that the Silver Empire needed ships to provide close-in protection for their carriers. They could no longer rely on absolute air superiority to keep them safe. Therefore, with typical Silver Empire efficiency, they modified many of their existing Raider warships into Light Cruisers, designed to fight off enemy warships and draw fire away from the vulnerable carriers.
The modifications to the Raider base design was relatively simple and, most importantly, cheap. Large numbers of Light Cruisers were built as rapidly as possible and they served a pivotal role in the front lines of the War of Acquistion.
Armament
3 x Double Barrel Cannon Turrets - These turrets featured advanced gun elevation control, as well as a long range and better penetrating power than the old static forward gun of the Raider. A simple but effective design, it became the model for many future weapon platforms.
12 x AA Fire Guns - 5 on each side and 2 facing forward. Useful for shooting down enemy fighters or incoming torpedoes.
Notes
Get Movecraft here:

I am running a fairly late build of spigot 1.8, and I am running the latest movecraft build, along with the new world edit snapshot and essentials. I pasted this schematic into my world, went inside, and things work great! I love how the remote signs now tell oyu what way the turret is facing, but when I shoot it, I can't see it from inside. I went out and took a look, and it seems that the cannons fire at a pretty steep angle UP. Like 45 degrees or more. I can't seem to get it to fire straight, and I have seen the probem on a few other ships in the new 1.8 build. Do you have any leads on to this?
Another problem is that the gun is so long range the shell typically explodes beyond the range at which Minecraft will show you explosions. The easy way to fix this is to remove the propellent from all but 2 of the propellent dispensers. That will limit the range to what is visible.
Could you make a list of Cannons that blow up in 1.8 and how (if possible) to fix them
I actually made a video a few weeks ago talking about how to fix cannons for 1.8 and showing where some of the problems are:
