Had a technical error with the guns last time I posted this so I tried to minimize its occurrence to make the experience more enjoyable.
If you find any other errors while sailing that are a significant problem to the experience comment below so I can check.

As a destroyer this thing does turn slower than the real thing but I do this so it doesn’t unrealistically do water drifts.
If you want to change it yourself go ahead the gyroscopes in the middle.
I’d recommend the highest setting of %250 yaw power on any ship. anything higher never works.

    It's advisable to have a structural wing spanning most of the lenth of the ship, positioned vertically, and a rudded under the stern as a real ship would. Edit liftScale of the big wing ("keel") so it prevents drifting but not turning. Adjust liftScale of the rudder to get adequate turn radius.
    If you'd like to learn more about shipbuilding techniques, you can find useful tutorials on PortSP Discord server. You can find a link in my bio.

    This is a really nice ship for its part count. Keep up the good work.

    @Monarchii well it’s fine as long as it’s under the water, but yes it’s a chunky thing.

    good work! :3
    .
    you can resize the rudder to be.. less wider? yeah maybe that's the word, it's a nitpick but overall, good ship! :3
