Originally named as an allusion to the whirlwind of weapon fire it can unleash, the name of the '''''Tatsumaki'''''-class (Japanese for "Tornado") destroyer is viewed by many in the [[DCMS]] as more aptly referring to the endless storm of technical problems that plague the design.

The fourth design in the [[Draconis Combine]]'s resurgent post–[[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] [[WarShip]] fleet, the ''Tatsumaki'' problems stem from the extremely hasty and rushed design and construction of the class, with only the Combine's dire need for WarShips even allowing the design to enter service. Thanks to a doubling of the number of the technical crew carried by each vessel these problematic systems are under control, but the [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]] halted procurement at two ships already constructed, with combat losses reducing the class to a single orphan vessel.

Designed primarily to escort [[JumpShip]] fleets, the ''Tatsumaki'' is clad in four hundred and seventy-four tons of [[Ferro-Carbide]] armor and features a large array of primarily short-ranged anti-fighter and capital-grade weaponry, placing it on par with other [[SLDF]] destroyers of similar size. The vessel also serves as the ideal platform for boarding actions, carrying a full [[battalion]] of [[battle armor]] troops.
