At least one Zanzibar II class ship, the Lili Marleen, was refit for use as a flagship for the Cima Fleet during Aiguille Delaz's Operation Stardust. The Lili Marleen gained an addition four two-barrel beam turrets which made the ship as powerful as a Federation's Magellan battleship. It was capable of carrying eight mobile suits, and as the original, it could replace four mobile suits by a mobile armor on its hangar. The ship also featured a side mounted catapult and a read launch deck located between the engines. It was also capable of better atmospheric flight due to a more aerodynamic design and the increase of its engines power.
The Lili Marleen was destroyed during the final phase of Operation: Stardust by the Federation's experimental Mobile Armor, the RX-78GP03 Gundam Dendrobium Orchis.
Zanzibar class ships are seen in Mobile Suit Gundam, The 08th MS , and Gundam 0083.
