In the fictional Mobile Suit Gundam Gundam universe, the '''''Zanzibar'' class''' is a carrier utilized by the Principality of Zeon.
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, besides the Zanzibars were more expensive so the ''Zanzibar'' class ships took a back seat to the Musai class cruiser ''Musai''.

 Alexandria class cruiser - Iridis Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Because of this the Federation began to study the lessons learned from the Pegasus class program (several units of which, including Albion, were still building) in order to create a better carrier for their mobile suit forces, and the result was the Alexandria class cruiser.
The Federation originally commissioned the Alexandria class shortly after the One Year War, and the ships were set to be delivered in time for the Federation's naval review in UC 0083; however, setbacks during the outfitting pushed back their launch date.
After the defeat of the Titans, the Alexandria class became an uncomfortable reminder of them, and the class was quickly and quietly decomissioned, the last unit mothballed before the Second Neo-Zeon War in UC 0093.

 Zanzibar class
With a capacity of 6 mobile suits and a battery of bow-mounted mega particle guns, the Zanzibar was often used as the command ship for smaller fleets when a Gwazine class battleship was either unavailable or unsuitable.
Several Zanzibar class vessels carried the bulk of the remaining Zeon forces at Odessa into space, including a large shipment of resources mined in the mineral-rich region.
The Zanzibar class, like most Zeon warships of the One Year War, lacked launch catapults, instead deploying its complement of mobile suits through a simple hatch on the ventral hull.

 Zanzibar :: Konigsberg: A German East African Raider
K onigsberg was one of a new class of fast well armed cruisers built in the years before the First World War.
Towards the end of July 1914 with political unrest in Europe leading to war Konigsberg like her sister ship Emden in the Far East prepared for a new role as a sea raider and left Dar es Salaam for the high seas followed shortly after by the collier Somali.
Despite the additional coal from the Winchester, the supply aboard the Somali was soon exhausted and at the end of August Loof was forced her to seek shelter in the muddy backwaters of the Rufiji River delta south of Dar es Salaam awaiting further supplies.

 Irish class battleship - free-definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Irish class was the first battleship ever comissioned by the Federation with the ability to carry and deploy Mobile Suits, as such it is not as dependant on its main guns, as was the case with the Magellan class and Birmingham class battleships.
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 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.
