ĭefenses on Andromeda-class ships include wave motion shields. At full capacity, twenty-four fighters can be launched at one time from each side, allowing the carriers to rapidly deploy a complete fighter force. Fighters are catapulted from four rows of launch and landing bays on a large flat top superstructure mounted on the back of the bridge tower, with each row capable of launching six fighters at a time a similar series of bays is mounted on starboard and port side bulges in the main hull. Ī carrier variant of the Andromeda class sacrifices some conventional weaponry to accommodate up to one hundred eighty Cosmo Falcon fighters, Cosmo Tiger II fighters, or a mix of the two. Among these are triple-barrel positron shock cannon turrets, somewhat smaller than Yamato ’s shock cannons but capable of firing at a much higher rate. For more conventional combat, battleships in the class are armed with a broad array of energy and projectile weapons in various sizes for offensive and defensive use. Unlike the wave motion gun designed for Yamato years earlier, the Andromeda-class’s gun can be fired in a dispersion pattern at dozens of smaller targets spread across a wide area of space, and not just single large objects (“ AD 2202 - Revive, Space Battleship Yamato”). Their most prominent and devastating weapon is the dual barrel wave motion gun located in the ship’s bow. 1 Armament and Technical SpecificationsĪrmament and Technical Specifications Initial Specifications Īndromeda-class ships are the most heavily armed vessels in the Cosmo Navy fleet when they entered service in 2202.
