Guantanamo-class stealth carriers, also known as Advanced ARMD, are spacecraft featured in the Macross Plus OVA as well as the Macross 7, Macross Frontier and Macross Δ television series.[1]
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
With a total length of 400 meters, height of 71 meters and width of 111 meters, and an operational mass of 9,500 tonnes, the Guantanomo-class had excellent productivity like the ARMD-class. This was because of its typically simple construction, which had engines and armaments to added to a fighter dock.
The main impulse drive engines were manufactured by General Galaxy whereas the Fold Engines/auxiliary gravity field control systems was manufactured by OTEC and Shinnakasu Heavy Industries. Altogether providing a maximum instantaneous combat acceleration of more than 14.5 G for ships of the line. Each Guantanamo-class vessel featured a diamond-shaped hull structure with four decks. Moreover, the bow and the lower side of the main nozzle in their sterns were large docks. The Guantanamo-class vessels also had excellent carrier-based aircraft deployment ability. [1]
