In most science fiction universes, a ship's class will generally be named after its first ship, known as the class leader or pathfinder.
Classes of starships, like their terrestrial counterpart, are used to save effort and money - it's considerably easier and cheaper to build multiple units to the same set of plans than to develop a new unique plan for every individual starship.
In the fictional Gundam universe, the Tivvayclass seems to be an update to the older Chivvayclass heavy cruisers.
The class also had a large mobile suit capacity, between eight and ten mobile suits, a number that the Earth Federation would not have until they commissioned their Alexandria-class heavy cruisers.
The only known Tivvayclasscruiser is the Graf Zepplin, which appeared in Gundam 0080.
The ship also sports three launch catapults- two on the bow and one in the aft, which gives the Irish class a clear relation to the Argama-class assault cruisers, which were under construction around the same time as the Irish class.
The Irish class was designed and equipped with twelve rear thruster, giving the class a speed advantage against enemy ships, not unlike the American designed Iowa class battleships.
The Irish class performed exceptionally well during the Grypps Conflict, and the remaining Irish class vessels were reportedly circulated back into the Earth Federal Space Force at the end of the conflict.
General Kowen granted the request, assigning two Salamis classcruisers to assist; unfortunately, both were sunk and the Gundam heavily damaged by Cima Garahau and her men.
On 6 November Albion detected a Papua class resupply ship and began pursuit of the vessel after it failed to response a message requesting that the ship identify itself.
Cima and her men promptly retreated from the battlefield, but their Zanzibar II classcruiser Lili Marleen was unable to outdistance itself from Albion's MS units, so Cima and her men launched from their ship to provide cover fire.

The Zanzibar class is designed for mobile suit transportation, and as such the ship relies on its mobile suits for most of its offensive and defensive power.
But Zeon space commanders were not as eager to use the class because the Zeon space navy had been built around mobile suit transporation and combat, so the Zanzibar class ships took a back seat to the Musai.
At least one Zanzibar class ship, the Lili Marleen, was refit for used as a flagship for the Cima Fleet during Aiguille Delaz's Operation: Stardust.
Chivvayclasscruiser In the fictional Gundam universe, the Chivvayclass was a ship developed by the Zeon to help protect convoys and preform miscellaneous tasks.
A handful of these vessels were remade into Tivvayclasscruisers, but for the most part they were retired at the end of the One Year War.

In the fictional Gundam universe, the Tivvayclass seems to be an update to the older Chivvayclasscruisers.
These vessles are lightly armed when compared to other Zeon ship classes, sporting only two beam turrets and a handful of missle launchers.
This ship served as a flagship for Captain Von Helsing (no relation to the vampire hunter) and his small Zeon taskforce, who were dispatched to launched a diversionary attack on Side 6 to allow the Cyclops team entry.

These strange looking ships were designed to operate independently to resupple Zeons space navy, and are frequently seen thoughout the One Year War.
These ships also carried many of the Zeon Zaku units; however, these ships were not utalized as Mobile Suit carriers because the Zeon navy was designed around MS combat.
The class preformed exceptionally well, but was eventually phased out in favor of the Pazock class.

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 Ra Cailum was commanded by Captain Noah, and played a major role in the film Char's Counterattack, by first rescue-ing a disable civilian shuttle, then later launching an impressive nuclear barrage against the asteroid Axis, and lastly by infiltrating a team of mini moble suits (or MMS) to destroy Axis from the inside.
However, their service was largely unremarkable owing to the steadily deteriorating state of the Earth Federation during the second Universal Century.
