Salamis Development History

[@MrFNP90]

If ever the was a 'grunt' capital ship, the Salamis was it. It's actually lowkey one of my favorite ship designs in Gundam. It's just so...realistic.

Feds: good thing we updated all out ships Zeon: *brings out MS* Feds: O come on!

[@taliawtf6944]

Yeah it's the anime version of the start of the second world war, Britain literally thought their battle ships could fend of fighters and bombers no issue. The Japanese showed them that just planes alone could kill a fully functional battleship on their own. The same way that Zeon showed the feddies that MS alone could kill a battleship thus changing how war was fought. Art imitating real life, makes it more real I think. :P

@@SudrianTales actually, it went further than that. The problem was that the British Asian Squadron/Fleet was constantly on the back foot after numerous ships were reassigned to the Atlantic. Due to various problems, the escorts that were supposed to be assigned to Force Z weren't available, and they didn't have aircraft with the necessary range...

For the longest time, I actually thought the ships were named after a lunch meat. Wasn’t sure why I thought that but Japan did had a knack for naming things after food and it did sorta made sense at the time when these ships were practically dead meat whenever a Zaku comes flying by.

[@Samuraiedge2]

Watched DBZ? Thats likely why considering most of their characters are named after food.

[@seprithlicastia463]

I actually did not know the Federation had only recently upgraded thier entire fleet just before the One Year War. That actually does explain why they were so far behind Zeon in adopting new strategies for using their ships and mobile suits. The Papua-class, for example, has no real Federation comparison besides White Base during the war.

[@davidficca8963]

Columbus-Class was the feddie counterpart to the Papua-Class

[@danielchew8739]

Well to be fair the Papau-class is mainly a resupply ship, thus it is easy to convert those to be MS carrier, as it has the internal volume to do so.

[@JeanLucCaptain]

I’m pretty sure the clop-class was actually inferior to the salamis Kai. Far less firepower and exposed hangar.

[@JeanLucCaptain]

Plus the simple fact the feds were lax and arrogant.

[@ArchusKanzaki]

@@JeanLucCaptain It might be cheaper and more maneuverable. With better particle cannons and beam cannons, armor cannot keep up which is why making it more compact might be preferable for its mainline ships. In joint operation, you can have really big carriers to carry the MS and have the smaller mainline ships to conduct skirmish and defense. It kinda reflect real world too which is why you don't see battleship-size ship guarding carriers, even though making it bigger will make it able to carry more weapons.

[@QuintusAntonious]

Kakarot, I think there is a fourth explanation for MS coming out of Salamis-class ships--Basically, the war demanded increased production, so they pushed ships into service where the hull had already been laid down but the interior not finished. This worked well because they could simply leave the space for a "hangar" and at the same time save money on finishing a ship.

[@colinbielat8558]

We may being getting post UC 100 content. The tagline for the 40th anniversary was the next 100 which means we may get stuff set in the late uc, this also means we might finally get a crossbone anime.

[@robertdrexel2043]

And we are getting a Hathaway's Flash movie so that may lead to further post-UC100 stuff in the future.

[@TheTrueAdept]

@@MasterArchfiend the thing is, it's essentially the most UC movie. Remember, Victory has the Federation basically a house of cards that would have been blown over in the interim rather readily. With the likely scenario that the Federation's response, in the end, is screw Newtypes more (because their _first_ option whenever they can't control something is, essentially screw it over and if they can't do that _destroy_ it), it is likely that the Newtypes, in general, modified a colony into a generational ship, grabbed as many newtypes and their families as they could, and just _leave_ the solar system.

[@MrDarksol]

Damn the Salamis had a pretty shit track record in the beginning, but later on it became a damn good ship. These history videos are very very well done especially since I'm starting to get back into gundam thanks to Cross Rays on my switch. It's really interesting to see the evolution of a ship that couldn't really do much in the beginning but then later on with a couple of revisions it starts becoming one of the best ships of the federation. Great job on the video Kararot!

[@Jadefox32]

If Zeon had not developed their fleet around the ability to carry and deploy mobile suits, not to mention the mobility and the ability for mobile suits to essentially carry around 12inch caliber weapons (360mm Rateken Bazookas anyone?) then in a straight fight the Salamis probably would of fared much better, and the industrial capabilities would of mattered far sooner. Instead the Federation had to spend about 6 years playing catch up and only really having generally mediocre mobile suits by September of 0079 (unless you count the R.G.M.-79[G] which appeared earlier but was never designed for Space Combat as the Federation had to focus on retaking territory initially captured by Zeon)

[@kennywilliamson9922]

"if you don't give up, you will get there eventually." If only the poor Leo had gotten the same love as the Salamis class.

[@andrehashimoto8056]

the Leo MS was somewhat decent spec wise, problem comes with Gundam treatment of "grunt class" MS, targets for ace custom super prototypes and limited production series MS.... take WW2 tank aces as example, they used the SAME generic tank models other, less fortunate tank crews had (Tiger I, Panther, Sherman, T34, IS/JS heavy tanks....), yet they had the skills and cunning to MAKE them work miracles or just bully the enemy AFVs. that's one good reason i take preference of Aldnoah Zero depiction of Mech combat than Gundam

Was watching Victory and I was completely shocked to see a Salamis being used as a boat. Not only that, but it was also able to lift off and boost the Reinforce enough for it to get into orbit. Was the refit and upgrades tested on the Ra Cailum by Unicorn applied to the rest of the Salamis fleet? If so, the real question is, when?

[@robertdrexel2043]

That is what many assume. That the aging Salamis Class Fleet of the Federation Space Forces recieved an upgrade that included a Minovsky Flight System just like the Ra Calium in Unicorn. Kind of makes sense the only reason why they didn't have it earlier was that it as a bit expensive but over time it would become less so has new tech is introduced.

[@robertdrexel2043]

Hmmmm... I had forgotten. While two Salamis Kai's helped get the Reinforce off Earth. Both of these ships were either destroyed or heavily damaged leaving the lead ship a Clop Class to make it to orbit alongside the Reinforce.

The japanese planes fought a brit battle ship and sunk it marking the end of naval power being only about battle ships. Just look at any modern navy today and you will not see a battle ship just missile boats and carriers for the real teeth of the fleets.

I think the original Salamis used the cargo bay for storing and deploying mobile suits. They probably used the rest of the ship for storing smaller parts and food, similar to a how a u-boat does things. It wouldn't surprise me if they had to unload the suits to bring in the goods, distribute those items throughout the ship, then load the suits back into place. Being a quartermaster for a OYW Salamis has gotta be hell.

[@robertdrexel2043]

Huh, could have sworn the main cargo bay for the Salamis Class was forward right behind the bow launchers. It is under that hatch-like thing behind the forward most gun turret.

Weird thing about salamis. There only little improvement done to this ship from uc 0079 until uc 150. One reason federation keep build salamis class is because its ship to ship combat is somewhat superior compared to newer ship like clop class

[@huntermad5668]

As far as we know there was almost no major developments in warship design until the beam shield for warship so Salamis worked just fine. When upgraded with beam shield and likely other upgrades, old Fed ships like Salamis and Clop and Ra calium went toe to toe with modern Zanscare warships without much trouble and maybe defeated them as we never heard about the space fleet of Zanscare after Fed Fleets finally arrived and took them on.

[@KnightShadowsong]

my understanding of the Salamis class is that it was like a battleship in WW2, they were built for a conventional type of fighting that was obsolete by the time they were released, like the Battleship the Salamis class was overshined by the Mobile Suit, the One year war equivalent of Naval Aviation. were it not for the development of the Mobile suit, and the Zion's better designed Musi class, the original Salamis might have done considerably better.

[@johnprzybycien1644]

The reason that the Federation spent money on mobile suits, and not the Navy, was mentioned in several One Year stories: Zeon decimated the Earth Federation fleets, and invaded Earth in a "blitzkrieg" that was only successful, due to Zeon's mobile suit force overpowering the obsolete Federation forces. Tanks, infantry, ships, etc. were no match against mobile suits. That should answer your question about why the Earth Federation chose not to spend resources on a space fleet, in favor of mobile suits

The fact that the Federation held on at all is kind of insane. Like, automation and computers might reduce the crew size of such a large ship to well below the numbers required for comparable historical naval vessels, but you're still losing huge numbers of personnel and vast amounts of war materiel every time you lose a light cruiser. And that's not even discussing the immediate collapse of morale when word gets out that the Zeon equivalent of a fighter jet can destroy a light cruiser with one shot from any angle, while point-defense fire simply bounces harmlessly off its armor.

I've always been puzzle how did Char pull ALL that his assumed "death" to the man who was ALMOST about to "destroy" the Earth.

Can we have Gundam development history from Gundam 00.

So it wasn't named after an Italian deli meat. I did not realize that the sea-surface ships in Victory included Salamis variants. I remember at least one ship was able to launch into orbit on it's own power, I suspect the rest did as well. My memory is a little rusty... I suppose this makes sense if they were equipped with a "Minovsky craft" or "Minovsky drive".
