Armed only with a small [[Macrocannon|Macro turret]] and two [[Torpedo]] tubes. The weapons battery is a purely defensive measure, for when the Cobra is attacked by enemy escorts. However, due to its small size, large engine signature, and relatively poor armour, a single ''Cobra'' is incredibly vulnerable on its own. Furthermore, the Weapons Battery is short-ranged and is almost never used to attack a capital ship, as it simply is not powerful enough to do any real damage.
This shouldn't be a problem, however, due to the long-range of a torpedo. Moreover, as part of a squadron of three however, those torpedos suddenly become a threat even for slower and larger ships.  Just don't allow them to hit you back.
The Mechanicus also has access to the widowmaker variant of the Cobra. It drops its macro turret for an enhanced sensor suite that increases its sensor range immensely. In this regard, it can serve as a long-distance spotter for other ships, and with its small profile and high speeds, allows it to detect enemies, then zip away out of danger without being seen in return.

Just like their imperial counterparts the Adeptus Mechanicus also have Escorts. Unlike the Escorts of most naval factions, the Adeptus Mechanicus are a bunch of stingy cheapskates. Despite being the premier weapon producers for the Imperium, the AdMech never seem to make their own class of Escorts. Rather, they 'borrow' all of the Escorts from both the Imperial Navy and the Space Marines.

It is unknown why it is like this. However, it is theorised that the Explorator Fleets like to put their eggs on their Cruisers and Light Cruisers; deeming that designing an AdMech-exclusive Escort class to be too unimportant and most crucial of all, a waste of time and resources when the Escorts from both the Imperial Navy and Astartes are good enough.

As such, this page is a disambiguation page. Further rules and info for each of the ships can be found in their respective section. Here are the list of Escorts that the Explorator Fleets of the Adeptus Mechanicus uses in their navy:
