A fourty special edition of Universal Century history and technological lore, this time focused on the Gwazine-class battleship and all its variants.
This is also the tenth entry to the editions: UC-shipyards
Is there a particular ship-line you would want to see covered in the future for the eleventh entry of the UC-shipyards?

SIEG ZEON!!!!!!! GLORY TO ZEON!
Gwadan could use more catapults for rapidly deployingnand retreiving its compliment, but it is such a great ship already.
love these videos. can you do some videos on crossbone vanguard MS , like the den'an zon?
11:20 ton for TON the Gwadan might be lrss well armed, but overall it probably still has more firepower. Likez if they had made a Gwazine with as much mass and volume as the Gwadan it would outgun the Gwadan by devoting less internal space to thr hangars which might cap put at oly 50-60 suits.
13:04 Those are all giant Haros.
Still want a video on the salamis class
Well a bit of correction, the Gwadan was destroyed in the latest chapter of F90FF manga. The ship was trying to rescue the RF Gromlin II, but F90PV & Charles's Lehr Doga came and blow the bridge of the ship to Kingdom Come
One of my favorite Zeon ships, and one I still hope may get a post-OYW surviving unit that gets access to a ballute and fulfill its role as a ship capable of atmospheric flight.
As mentioned previously, it seems that the intent of MS Igloo was to retcon the 294m length stat and now claim that all Gwazines are 440m long. In MS Igloo we see both the Great Degwin (being struck by Solar Ray) and the Gwaden (abandoning A Baoa Qu) using the redesign.
The Gwanban is one big headache when it comes to its length: in the new Zeta trilogy we have one scene showing an Endra passing in front of of the Gwanban, in the same orientation, suggesting it’s easily twice as big as an Endra (410m long), which could make it as big as 800m long. You see the image in the wikia’s entry on the Endra. Though in the thread in question, it was also suggested that the Endra might be closer to 300m in length, putting the Gwanban on a 600m more reasonable ballpark
By the way, during the same discussion it is pointed out that the Sadalahn seems closer to 700m of length, which may actually work best for explaining how the Midalahn came to be.
I should also touch on the Rewloola, which back in the mechatalk forums had sparked debate regarding its size, specially when Mark pointed out that even at 350m length, the proportional size of its catapult doors was too small for large MS like the Sazabi and Sinanju.
Making matters worse, in Unicorn we even see in the 6th OVA a foreshadowing scene showing the Neo Zeong being assembled inside the Rewloola, suggesting a larger size to fit such a large MA.
The 160m Musaka, which the official specs say is only 14m longer than a Garencieres (146m), seems to have been given a much smaller length spec as well, specially considering scenes where we see the Garencieres launching the Kashatriya or when the 2 Geara Zulus using it as an armory for attacking the Garuda.
Moving on from lengths specs, I have also speculated that some disc like details of the Gwanban and Endra could potentially be laser guns, like those of the Sadalanh. The Endra has 6 of these red discs on top of its MS hangar and 2 more on the bridge. The Gwanban has 4 of these, 2 on each side of the rear half of the ship on either side.
Lastly, while I realize how visually different they are, aren’t the King/Kaiser of Dragon and the Gwazine related? Given that the Gwazine was intended to also operate on Earth, but failed the reentry test, it sounds logical to assume that the King of Dragon may have been designed with the intention to replace it at its role.

My favorite Battleship after Rewoola Class
Sadalahn bridge tower and neck reminded me of SDF-1 Macross
Another great, informative video. I do enjoy the naval videos quite a bit. looking forward to more.
If I had to have a ship from uc, then its probably gonna have to be a gwazine class or derivative, the musai is just bad, and the federation ships have unreliable armor plating in key areas
Isn't there's another Rewloola appeared in manga UC0099 Moon Crisis?
Zeon had the best ships. I would to have a couple of models of them.
Why are captions disabled? as someone who is hard of hearing and was very excited to watch the video this is very sad 🙁
Out of curiosity. How many UC shows, OVAs, and movies has this ship appeared in?
Hey maybe you could make a video on some M.p. type gundam mp ZZ mp nu gundam mp hyaku shiki silver bullet
I know you probably won't read this but: i hoping for a video like this for the Federation Pegasus-class ships like the White Base, Albion and Spartan
I’m a big fan of the Rewloola class, so to see it finaly get its own breakdown is Amazing. can’t wait for more ship vids.
35:30 ARGAMA MENTIONED YAYYYYYYYYYYYY🎉🎉🎉🎉
Random thought: the name conventions of Zeon ships always gave me the idea that that is a "meaningful name" in zeonic language and the Gw- is the article part in that languaje
Naval Combat is absolutely vital to the operations of mobile suits and without these ships fulfill their roles the Ace Pilots of these Suits would have been shot down with ease and without a base to return their pilots will burn out after heavy engagements.
I'll say the Sadalahn is my overall favorite as far as big red zeon ships go, just like it's overall shape and how versatile it is though the Gwanban having a dedicated MA hanger is pretty neat.
As far as OYW ships are concerned I really like the Chivvay-class for some reason.
The Axis Zeon Gwadan and Rewlooa are some of my favorite Zeon ship designs.
