Design[]
Anime[]
The Corback has a thin blade-like hull with an inward curve at the top near the bow. At the stern, there are two fin-like engines one above the other. On the side of the ship near the stern are several gun turrets. A mast with a radar emitter is present under the middle, lower hull [1]. The Corback is slightly larger than the Bentenmaru [2].
The design of the ship closely resembles a Bowie knife from Earth, circa the early 19th century.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Corback's primary weapons are two rotating twin gun turrets located on either side of the stern [3]. It also has a certain degree of sensory and electronic warfare capacity [3].

The exact history of the Corback's service is mostly unknown, but ships of this class have been mass-produced and widely exported, operating in many different fleets by the time the series takes place.
