Overview

MV Ruby Hoshino is the large multi-purpose logistic transport ship of the Monarchii Royal Navy. It is a successor of MV Sarina Tendouji, a cargo ship of the formidable Monarchii's Yamato Strike Group which has been sunk during the M-War at the fateful day of Operation Going Eleven.

History

Monarchii/Siren War

Sinking of Sarina Tendouji

MV Sarina Tendouji of Monarchii Royal Navy

MV Sarina Tendouji was a cargo ship and logistic transport of Monarchii Royal Navy. She was the part of the invincible fleet known as the Monarchii's Yamato Strike Group. The invincible fleet was attacked by NeMaR naval forces with their unusual flying tanks until there's no surviving ship left. The cargo ship Sarina Tendouji was managed to survive the lethal attack, sank shortly afterwards due to unable to handle the leaking waters flooding her hull located on her starboard side.

Post-Monarchii War - MV Ruby Hoshino
In order to revive their power, especially after a questionable event where some of Monarchiians were vanished, the Monarchii Royal Army, especially the navy decided to order and even build some brand new ships. Eventually, a large cargo ship was ordered to be commissioned by Monarchii Royal Navy. After it's laid down, it's finally entering service as the new logistic ship, and signed as a successor of the sunken Sarina Tendouji. The ship then named as "MV Ruby Hoshino". She is a multi-purpose logistic ship, meaning that she can be operated as both freighter and oil tanker at the same time.

Just like her previous predecessor, she is also weaponized by some minor defenses. But unlike Sarina Tendouji, Ruby Hoshino being equipped with upgraded armaments. She is equipped with two Kashtan-M multi-purpose air defense instead of one. She is also loaded with countermeasures such as flares, smoke screen, and also torpedo decoy. In addition with upgraded anti-piracy device to protect herself from the wild pirates.

Just like her previous predecessor, despite being upgraded and weaponized even with more upgraded defense equipments, the cargo ship still seems very weak.

M-War II debut
Prior to the Siren War, she got time to deployed in Monarchii War II to serve the Loyalist side, especially for the Whimsical Whimsy themself. She plays an important role as a logistic transport ship, a valuable asset for the loyalist force and the allies, eventually succeeding the journey of her late predecessor.

Siren War debut
As the siren war occurred, she plays an important role for the human allied forces, especially in logistics and supply transporter. She became one of the most important key of the human allied forces.

Trivia

• The ship was modelled after the Oil Tanker from Artstorm's Modern Warships Naval Battle. I even had no idea what kind of class of the tanker ship herself.
• The ship might possibly loosely based on Knock Nevis Oil Tanker.
• The ship namesake was named after a character with the same name from Oshi No Ko.
• Her predecessor was named after the character from the same series. Told that she was the past life of the character before she is reincarnated into a new life. Inspiring how the previous vessel was sunken and then succeed or "resurrected" by a new one.

Credits

• Monarchii for both flares the new funky trees code for the air defense and autocannon which has more extended range from before. Codes are derived from this build.
• Kerbango & 11qazxc for the picture to label tutorial & picture to label site.

Creator's note:

• The AA guns are quite sluggish and inaccurate and quite wobbly. Even if i increased the damperMultiplier value it just make it worse.
• This build is NOT mobile friendly.
