Barracuda

Sign in to edit

The Barracuda was a type of gunboat used by the Hatte Defense Force in the OVA Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin and the manga Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin MSD Cucuruz Doan's Island.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

A type of small ship used by Side 2's Hatte Defense Force. It sported powerful thruster nozzles on the fore and aft, and it was roughly half the size of a Salamis-class. It is mainly used for security patrols in the vicinity of the colony. Compared to the Earth Federation Forces' latest warships, it was ill-equipped for large scale warfare, and it was unable to withstand the Principality of Zeon's fleets and mobile suits in both quality and numbers.[1] High-power propulsion nozzles mounted on both ends of the ship allowed favorable acceleration in both forward and reverse directions. Like many other Federation warship designs, it made use of sub-bridges on the sides of the ship, as well as ventral radiator fins.

Armaments[]

  • Mega Particle Cannon
The Barracuda-class was armed with five single barreled mega particle cannons, with two on each side of the ship covering the fore and aft, and one in front of the bridge.
  • Twin Anti-Aircraft Gun
The Barracuda-class was armed with four twin-barrel machine gun turrets for anti-air defensive fire. Two were mounted in front of the bridge, one mounted aft of the bridge, and one was on the ventral hull aft of the radiator fins.

History[]

Barracudas were deployed by the Hatte Defense Force during Zeon's attack on Side 2. Despite their best efforts, they fared very poorly against Zeon's faster and more advanced mobile suits and were easily destroyed.
