Technology & Combat Characteristics
Based upon the Orb Space Fleet's Izumo-class battleship, the Archangel-class mobile assault ship was jointly developed by the Atlantic Federation of the Earth Alliance and Orb Union's Morgenröte. The first ship of the class, the LCAM-01XA Archangel, was created to support the five prototype mobile suits developed under the G Project, and during operations, it was meant to deploy the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam and GAT-X103 Buster Gundam, Lieutenant Mu La Flaga's TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero, and two TS-MA2 Moebius for defense, while the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam, GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam, and GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam took the battle to the enemy.
Besides the capacity to carry at least 8 mobile weapons, the Archangel-class is also an effective battleship, capable of confronting enemy warships and providing fire support to its mobile suit forces during combat. The ship is well-armed, with two "Lohengrin" positron blaster cannons, two "Gottfried" dual high-energy beam cannons, sixteen 75mm CIWS, two "Valiant" linear cannons, sixteen surface-to-air missile launchers, and twenty-four surface-to-ship missile launchers. This makes the class the most heavily armed warship of the Earth Alliance at that point in time, surpassing vessels such as the Nelson-class battleship and Agamemnon-class carrier. The Archangel-class also featured Laminated Armor, providing it better protection against beam weaponry, Ablative Gel dispensers for protection against the heat during atmospheric entry, and a number of multipurpose launchers for deploying flares, anti-beam depth charges, etc.
With the use of extensive automation, the Archangel-class can be operated even by a handful of crew members. In terms of operating environment, the Archangel-class can travel in space, in the air, and on water. After the First Alliance-PLANT War, the LCAM-01XA Archangel has the added ability to submerge and cruise underwater. Lastly, a tender vessel, the Cornelius-class was designed to specifically resupply Archangel-class ships.
Armaments
* "Lohengrin" Positron Blaster Cannon
The most powerful weapon of the Archangel-class are its two "Lohengrin" positron blaster cannons, which are retractable and mounted inside the two front "legs" of the ship, directly below the launch-bays and the hangar.
* "Gottfried Mk.71" 225 cm Dual High-Energy Beam Cannon
The only other beam weapon carried by Archangel-class ships are two "Gottfried Mk.71" 225cm dual high-energy beam cannons, which like the ones of the Izumo-class ships, are rotatable and the cannon barrels are movable. The beam cannons are retractable and mounted on top of the two "legs".
* "Igelstellung" 75mm Automatic Multi-Barrel CIWS
The Archangel-class is armed with an array of 16 "Igelstellung" 75mm automatic multi-barrel CIWS guns for intercepting incoming missiles or enemy units. The CIWS guns are movable to shoot down targets from several directions.
* "Valiant Mk.8" 110 cm Linear Cannon
At the back of the ship, on each side, mounts a single "Valiant Mk.8" 110cm linear cannon, which are retracted when not in use. It could operate underwater after the Archangel was altered and was effective against underwater MS and submarines.
* Surface-to-air Missile Launcher
The Archangel-class ships have 16 surface-to-air missile launchers located at the rear of the bridge tower. These launchers are loaded with small, short range "Helldart" anti-aircraft missiles, which are generally ineffective at damaging targets with Phase-Shift armor, but useful for intercept incoming missiles and the like.
* Surface-to-ship Missile Launcher
24 surface-to-ship missile launchers are located in the two oval sections trailing from the stern of the Archangel-class ship, behind its vertical stabilizers and directly above its engines. These retractable launchers are housed in pairs, with three pairs on either sides of the oval sections. The launchers on the outer side are installed facing forward, while the launchers on the inner side face aft. Despite facing different directions, the missiles can be redirected after firing, enabling them to attack enemies in almost any direction. A variety of large missiles such as "Sledgehammer" anti-ship missiles, "Korinthos M114" anti-air missiles, and "Wombat" atmospheric missiles are available for use to suit the target and circumstances.
* Torpedo Launcher
After the Archangel was upgraded to submerge and function underwater, torpedo launchers were added to improve its underwater combat effectiveness. The Archangel has four torpedo launchers located at the front of the ship, between the catapults and the front hatch.
Special Features & Equipment
* Ablative Gel
A special heat-absorbing gel used by the Archangel-class ships to protect itself from the heat of atmospheric entry. This substance evaporates away as the ship descends, so it must be continually replenished by the gel dischargers on the underside of the hull.
* Anti-Beam Depth Charge
Defensive devices that can be fired from the multipurpose launchers distributed around the hull of the Archangel and other space warships. They detonate between the ship itself and the enemy vessels, creating a cloud of beam-absorbing particles that temporarily decrease the energy of incoming beams. However, the particles have the same effect on the beam weapons of the ship which deployed the depth charges, so they aren't appropriate for all tactical situations.
* Laminated Armor
The outer hull of the Archangel-class ship is made up of a single piece of laminated armor, which protects the ship from beam shots by dissipating their energy across the entire surface of the ship. This enables the ship to survive several direct hits from beam weapons, but because the beam energy is converted to heat, the armor can be fatally damaged when the accumulated energy overloads the ship's heat management systems.
