Combat Abilities
Since this ship class is designed mainly to act as a escort for the larger surface vessels of the Earth Alliance, it is only moderately armed with a single 127mm rapid fire gun for surface warfare and also possible bombardment use, this gun must likley has a range of 24km it is also possible that these guns could fire specilzed rounds such as Extended Range Full Bore (ERFB) or amouring armor-piercing shells. They also have three CIWS 25mm anti-air gatling guns to shoot down incoming missiles of enemy mobile suits. Its largest amount of weaponry are however its missile launchers, which include two 2x4 anti-ship &two 3x8 anti-air missile launchers, capable of unleashing a large number of missiles on enemy warships and mobile units if coordinated with other ships in the fleet or taskgroup. Although not shown in actaul use in combat or training it's proper to assume that this ship also has torpedo tubes along with a basic anti-submarine warfare suit.
