This turret design gets the job done, and doesn't clutter up the hull of your ship too badly, though it may be difficult to find space for it under your hull. You'll need at least a 53x53 cylindrical hole under the hull to mount the turret in.
The under-hull portion of the turret is a 51x51x15 cylinder, with a one block gap for the ship's hull and a single block tall surface turret portion. Try not to redecorate the turret barrel too much - adding solid blocks to the barrel has caused difficulty with raising the turret.
~770 mass
2x 1000/1000/100 Explosive machinegun outputs, for a total of 42000 DPS and penetration values worth exactly one block of advanced armor and some systems. You'll need to rebalance the proportions and slow down the firerate if you want it to break through more armor than that.
Swap it out for Beam/Cannon for a Star Trek style phaser bank.
