Combat Abilities
Since the GOOhN is designed mainly for underwater combat, the suit features two phonon maser high energy cannons, the energy weapon for underwater battle. These cannons are mounted in the head of the suit. Besides these masers, the suit is also equipped with two 1030mm Mk. 70 supercavitating missiles and a 47mm rifle dart launcher, which however can only be used in swim mode. Lastly, the GOOhN mounts two 533mm 7-barrel torpedo launchers, one in each hand, which are used for both underwater and land combat.
System Features
Like the UMF-5 ZnO, the GOOhN can transform into a swim mode, which grants it superior speed underwater and allows it to ram enemy vessels. Although mainly designed for underwater combat, the suit can also be operated on land, although it lacks mobility there, making it an easy target for enemy fire. Therefore, this role is usally given to the ZnOs.
History
The GOOhN is one of the two mass production amphibious mobile suits used by ZAFT during the Bloody Valentine War. The GOOhN was designed mainly to attack battleships and submarines in the ocean, and therefore has a strong pressure hull which allows it to dive deep underwater. GOOhNs are usually deployed from the underwater catapults of Vosgulov-class submarines.
During the first war, GOOhNs were deployed in mass numbers in the oceans on Earth to attack Earth Alliance units there. They were also part in the massive Operation Spit Break, ZAFT's attack on the EA military headquarter JOSH-A in Alaska. During the Second Bloody Valentine War, GOOhNs were still in service and used among others in the attack on the Orb Union, codename Operation Fury.
Besides the standard GOOhN, ZAFT also created the prototype UTA/TE-6 GOOhN Underground Mobility Test Type, which is capable of drilling into the ground. This suit is later put into limited mass production in form of the UTA/TE-6P Geo-GOOhN.
