Mari-class Destroyer Escort - Mari

You may need a custom workbench to spawn this vehicle because it is bigger than the 55 meter standard sized workbench.

Mari is a fictional version of the Imperial Japanese ship IJN Akizuki. Mari was made for a nation for the Stormworks Maritime Hub server.
Initially she was made for escort duty because the nation she was made for had suffered a convoy attack. Although the attack resulted only in minor damage it highlighted a hole in the naval forces of Westeron.
Because the creator is an IJN nut, he decided to make an Akizuki with a hull he already had in his black hole of a vehicle folder.
Her sister-ship Miyuki fought alongside RWS Chewston on the final encounter of Neodrach vs Verdunia War, going against VNS Newnann. The battle ended up in a victory for Neodrach and resulted in Verdunia surrendering.
The battle can be seen on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pPCA4BeBz8. Very bad quality but we where in a rush.

Mari closely resembles Akizuki in many aspects not only on the looks. She boasts decent maneuverability but has an underwhelming turning circle. Her speed is lacking for a destroyer but like Akizuki she was made to escort convoys and provide protection against planes. Since from the start she was planned to be used in servers so her optimization was a concern. Luckily she is one of the most optimized vessels of the size that I was able to use even earning the Diamond Gecko award. Her interior is simple but easy to navigate making damage control more effective. Her protection is decent but it is lacking since she is a destroyer therefore it was not a concern.

Like Akizuki, Mari has 4 twin turrets housing the Type 98 10cm/65 naval gun, which in real life was a DP weapon but in this ship she can only engage surface targets since making a fire control system that is DP capable ramps up complexity which increases lag considerably. Those cannons in Stormworks are the Heavy Autocannon variety which boasts good damage, average accuracy and extremely good fire rate (which in this ship is limited for balance reasons). You can comfortably engage targets up to 2~3 km with the guns.
The AA is pretty decent all things considered and is controlled by a single person near the funnel. They are composed of 8 machine guns XML'D by 2 per side, meaning you can engage targets pretty easily if you can spot them in time.
Unlike the Akizuki, Mari has a triple torpedo launcher, since a quadruple would look akward and wouldn't work. They are unguided, very fast and can go pretty far.
She is equipped with 8 depth charges on the stern and 4 sonar decoys.


Halmosi1: For remodeling the turrets, having to suffer with his slow computer examining the ship, helping me on the decoration of her and making her torpedoes
Aegius_X3: For providing the original turrets and giving me some ideas.
Rowan: For helping me on the FCS and providing the base of the micro-controller.
Redadon: For helping me with testing and overall bug fixing of the main systems and giving me the help I needed to make the centralized AA system.

DO NOT REPOST (Obviously). You are not entitled to ANY part of this ship other than the community made MCs. If you need help with shaping and making your own stuff I can help you to a degree but please do not steal my hard work.
