History
At least two of these vessels were built. The second ship, Dolowa, was originally stationed at the moon under Kycilia Zabi, but she gifted it to Dozle Zabi in exchange for his approval in the establishment of a submarine fleet at California Base. After the loss of Solomon, it carried the surviving Zeon forces toward A Baoa Qu
Both ships saw action during the Battle of A Baoa Qu, with the Dolos stationed in the N field and the Dolowa, which served as the ship of Zeon ace Anavel Gato, stationed in the S field. Due to their importance, both ships were the targets of concentrated attacks by the Earth Federation Forces.
At 9:40, the Dolos was sunk by the Federation 3rd fleet, drastically weakening the Zeon forces in N field. At 10:10, the Dolowa was also sunk. The loss of both Dolos-class dealt a significant blow to the Zeon defenders, and the fortress fell not long after.
