A fully functional submersible air warship that fights and flies using the Movecraft plugin. Everything works. The weapons work even without the plugin (except the torpedoes). Including the main cannon, which is fun to blow stuff up with :) 

Background 
The Typhoon class submersible fighter tenders were an upgrade on the smaller Trident class, continuing to fullfill the role of fighter support and AA platform. Additionally, the main gun was significantly upgraded, giving it additional penetration and a full 5 times greater range. This made the Typhoon a serious threat as a warship in it's own right, in addition to its impressive fighter compliment. The fighter capacity was also upgraded to 4 fighters from the previous 3. Finally, a control section was added to the top of the warship, so that the vessel can be controlled from the top of the warship, providing a clear field of view.

Armament 
Main Cannon - Turret mounted, can turn to face any direction except aft. Fires 10 TNT projectiles in a scattershot pattern. Very long range (220+). Adjustable trajectory using the repeater next to the firing button. Can be fired from either the bridge on the front, or from the controls on the top. Effective at penetrating enemy warship armor to expose the flammable lifting cells. 

Foreward Fire Guns - For shooting down enemy aircraft, or for setting fire to enemy warships once their armor has been pierced. 

Broadside AA banks - 12 fire guns on each side, arranged in a dense pattern for maximum fire coverage. Effective at shooting down fighters, or incoming torpedoes. 

Fighter Armament - (Typhoons carry 4 fighters) 

2 x Firegall Guns - For shooting down other fighters, or setting enemy warships alight once their armor has been pierced.  

2 x Torpedos (3M) - For piercing enemy warship armor

Is it a bug or a feature that you can't climb into the skull squadron fighters when they are fully inside?

The procedure to launch a Phantom (pirate fighter) is to hop on the wing, take command of the fighter, move one block straight down, then get in the cockpit.

Most Typhoons that anticipate launching their fighters soon (say, preparing an ambush) will do this before hand so the fighters are ready to go.

Yeah, that all makes sense. Just wondering :) It just occured to me that doing so reduces space in the hangar

Great ship but if you make another ship like this i think it would be a good idea to have two ways to the bridge.
