The Prober-class is an intelligence-gathering submarine that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
It can dive for long periods of time, has various sensors and advanced communication equipment, and is quiet and stealthy. It has a rotodome-shaped disc-shaped hull that looks like a sensor block in the front and rear, connected by a central hull with a sail (command tower). The engine is an exterior type that protrudes from the central hull to the left and right. It does not have an optical periscope, but uses a camera buoy connected by fiber-optic cables to monitor the situation.
History[]
One Prober-class vessel was hiding outside the port of Belfast and was used to send information from spy 107 (Miharu Ratokie), who is monitoring the White Base, to the main force.
