  Izumo class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Izumo class was developed by the Orb Union as a heavily-armed space battleship.
Izumo was used by the Sahaku family, while the Kusanagi was commanded by Cagalli Yula Athha and Ledonir Kisaka and became part of the Clyne Faction.
The Izumo was used by the Sahaku family, under the command of Rondo Mina Sahaku.

 ROBOTECH: Late REF Naval Vessels - Izumo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Izumos were never strained to the limits of their life support capabilities, and the normal crew on board (32,000 men) could have been supplied for the duration of the Izumo's protoculture supplies.
In 2044, The Izumos' Alpha and Beta complements were partially equipped with VF-6S Alpha Shadow Fighters, VF-12S Beta Shadow Fighters and VQ-6S ASAVAN Shadow Drones prior to her departure for Earth.
Since the new class did not have to conform to a known Tirolian ship class, the designers were given a free hand, and after five years of design work, the final result beared little resemblance to the first three Terran battlefortresses.

Izumo is home to the oldest shrines in Japan and is held in the same regard as the most sacred shrine in Japan, Ise Shrine.

 Izumo Class Super Dimensional Fortress
During this battle, the Izumo was destroyed outright in the wake of the Invid departure fold.
The fourth ship of this class, the Dunhuang, was still being built during the Battle at Reflex Point and after the battle, it became the flagship for the REF Navy and remained in orbit of Tirol to protect it from possible Invid attacks.
Thus, the Izumo was designed to two specifications: the ship had to carry a Reflex Cannon and it had to be large enough to transport a large fraction of the REF should that be required.

Because it is the inspiration for the Archangel class, much of its weaponry and internal design is the same.

 Izumo-class battleship - Gundam Wiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In the Cosmic Era timeline of Gundam SEED, the Izumo-class battleships were powerful warships of the Orb Union.
This allowed them to jettison forward and rear modules containing most of the weaponry, and replace them with a separate forward module for atmospheric entry and launches back into space, where the weapon modules could be recovered.
In PHASE 48 of Gundam SEED Destiny, at least two new Izumo class ships (Kusano and Tsukumiya), as well as the Kusanagi, depart from the lunar city Copernicus, along with the Archangel and the Eternal, to stop ZAFT forces, who had just fired the Requiem at the Earth Alliance's Arzachel lunar base.

 [No title]
Amari isogaba, Korobub['e]shi![3] But in the province of Izumo, which is a very rainy district, the contrary belief prevails; and it is thought that if the sky be clear on the seventh day of the seventh month, misfortune will follow.
Subsequently the nobility and the military classes everywhere followed imperial example; and the custom of celebrating the Hoshi-mat-suri, or Star-Festival,--as it was popularly called,--spread gradually downwards, until at last the seventh day of the seventh month became, in the full sense of the term, a national holiday.
Those of Izumo--where all classes of society, _samurai_ or common folk, celebrated the holiday in much the same way--used to be particularly interesting; and a brief account of them will suggest something of the happy aspects of life in feudal times.

 Archangel class assault ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Archangel class mobile assault ships are functionally equivalent to the current day aircraft carrier; their primary mission being to launch and recover mobile suits and mobile armors.
The Archangel class ships' firepower even exceeds most warships in its era, making it difficult to be equalized as a pure aircraft carrier, as it features the hybrid of a Battleship and an aircraft carrier.
After the battleship linked up with Admiral Halburton's 8th Fleet, she took on-board two FX-550 Skygrasper fighters, which were compatible with the Strike's Striker Packs.

The Lesseps-class land battleships is are ZAFT vessels designed to domimate the land, just as the Vosgulov-class submarines dominate the sea.
However, it is more accurately called an amphibious battleship, as its snake-like "scale system" allows it to traverse the open sea as well as travelling over ground.
It is heavily armed with 3 dual 40cm cannons and 32 vertical missile launchers, but like all ZAFT vessels, its most important armament is its mobile suit compliment.

 Pioneer Class Super Dimensional Fortress
She was scheduled to undergo this refit shortly after the first of the new class of battle fortresses, the Izumo, had been completed.
The Reflex cannons on the Macross class were more powerful and smaller than those on the Sian Dereta, and the Macross-style Reflex Cannon had to be slightly redesigned so as to conform to the resulting longer beam-generation area, as well as to the fact that the inner sections of the cannon booms no longer rotated.
The most powerful weapon on the Pioneer class, the Heavy Particle Cannons are capable of destroying entire fleets in a single shot, and forced opposing fleets to spread themselves out over a large area to avoid having several ships destroyed in a single shot from this weapon.

As a combat ship, the Tokugawa had many flaws, the most important of which was that the ship lacked a powerful armament, although it did possess a large complement of fighters and mecha.
It was not until after the end of the Third Robotech War would the REF shut the station down long enough to fully repair it that it was finally brought up to its maximum capability.
