 Magellan-Class Battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The battleships were decimated during the One Year War, leaving just a handful of the Magellans left for active service.
This refit, known as the Magellan Kai-class battleship (0083 refit), was introduced along with the Salamis-Class 0083 Refit vessels during the U.C. 0083 naval review at Konpei Island, the former Principality of Zeon space fortress known as the Solomon.
In Gundam Sentinel, it was said that a few of the original vintage Magellan-Class Battleships that were not refitted into the 0083 refit, were refitted in a less expensive version known as the Magellan Kai-Class Battleship.

 Salamis-Class Cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Once the refitted ships were launched from Jaburo to join the rest of the fleet, the remaining ships of the Federation's fleet were redeployed into combat zones with the new RGM-79 GM mobile suit and RB-79 Ball mobile pod for protection.
Although the Salamis class would suffer even more causalities throughout the remainder of the war, they proved to be more effective when used in conjunction with mobile suits, a lesson lost upon the architects of the Salamis Kai redesign a few years later.
The Admiralty was interested in improving the three major problems of the original Salamis cruisers: insufficient firepower, the slow speed of the cruisers (the original Salamis class ships had only one engine), and a better point-defense system for protection against enemy mobile suits.

At least one of such battleships shall be built and constructed under the direction of the Secretary of the Navy at one of the navy yards;.
Over the next three years, the battleship operated on a regular routine of battle practices and exercises from off the eastern seaboard into the Caribbean, as the United States readied its forces for the possible entry of the United States into the worldwide war that broke out in July 1914.
During that period of alterations and repairs, the ship's "cage" mainmast was replaced by a lighter pole mast; she was fitted to burn oil instead of coal as fuel; and her armament was modified to reflect the increased concern over antiaircraft defense.

 Ra Cailum class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The class was constructed to make use of Mobile Suits, so it incorporates two launch catapults into its design.

The Ra Cailum also served as a model for the Federation's Clop class vessels, which were constructed around the same time as the Ra Cailum class.

The force available to the working class is two–fold, industrial and political, which latter includes military organization to protect political and industrial rights.
Should that necessity arise it would be well to realize that the talk of “humane methods of warfare”, of the “rules of civilized warfare”, and all such homage to the finer sentiments of the race are hypocritical and unreal, and only intended for the consumption of stay–at–homes.
War may be forced upon a subject race or subject class to put an end to subjection of race, of class, or sex.
