Background (Winds of War AU):

Following the tragic destruction of South Haven on the evening of the 4th of Secamon, 756 AED, the great resurgence of the might of the South Haven Submersible Fleet came down to a screeching halt, as the remnant of Robert Bellamy's modern fleet were forced to retreat from the battle to reclaim their beloved capital. Many, including Robert Bellamy himself, decided that withdrawal from the war effort and the Silver Empire's wrath was the wisest option. However, many vengeful pirates and crownless swords seeking revenge against those that dared destroy their beloved homeland, never stopped the fighting; sometimes even directly opposing the decisions of Robert Bellamy himself, in a manner similar to what Lord Fentan had done years before. Supported by dock builders and many of Robert Bellamy's own assistants, these pirates eventually came to modernize some of their own remaining military assets, regardless of the consent of the faction as a whole.

One of these modernization was done of the *Typhoon* design. Seen only on the disastrous day of the destruction of South Haven, the ship, a successor to the venerable *Trident*, was an effective aircraft tender and submersible cruiser, with the firepower to take on any single silver empire warship in combat. However with the evolution of artillery and technologies in the war, along with the appearance of more advanced and heavier design within the imperial fleet, it was felt the Typhoon's original weapon lacked the firepower necessary to pose a meaningful threat to imperial forces. As such, the Typhoon's signature cannon was heavily upgraded, based on schematics practically stolen from Robert Bellamy himself; with firepower and range doubled, this artillery piece could now relliably pose a real threat to silver empire warships.

Other improvements included the expansion of crew areas to give the ship a higher crew compliment for boarding actions and long range operations. Notably, the aircraft carried by this new typhoon model were not the standard Phantoms, but were generally the new *Specter*, a submersible variant of the venerable interceptor. With this, the *"Typhoon MK2”*, as it was then known, gained the flattering record of being the first warship to be able to launch fighters directly underwater, a strategy it would use on numerous occassion to surprise imperial formations, carriers, convoys or large cruisers that were beginning to proliferate within the ever expanding imperial navy.

The finishing touch to the early models was the inclusion of red paint on top of the standard camo, a symbolic mark for the bloodthirsty, vengeful remnants of the old SHSF. The blood painted on these warships along with their relentless, rare and unpredictable assaults demonstrated to the silver empire that however long it may take, these vengeful men and women would accept nothing less than absolute retribution.


Nerd Stuff and limitations: Better instructions for how to use the TNT cannon can be found in Spatime’s stuff. The broadside AA control from the dorsal bridge only extends from fully aft to around the middle of the tnt cannon turret due to wiring limitations.
sadly I can’t seem to be able to upload the schematics from my iPad and I don’t have a pc or laptop so my apologies for the schematic not being available.

everything else was all me.

Note: The Movecraft plugin is required for the Ship and Fighters to be able to move. The weapons (except for torpedoes) are redstone contraptions and will work in 1.16.5
