In Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, the standard spacegoing warship of the Earth Alliance's OMNI Enforcer is the 250-meter class warship, a vessel of which OMNI has no shortage.
It is heavily armed with no fewer than three twin and one single main beam gun turret, as well as eight twin secondary beam gun turrets. The ship's crew is housed in an armored centrifuge in the midships section, which is evacuated and shut down during combat operations. The 250-meter class warship also carries a number of mobile armours, but predates linear catapults and so does not have a catapult to launch its mobile armours with. Because of this, the standard operating procedure for 250-meter class ships is to launch mobile armours at the first sign of trouble and then to advance with them into battle. Between Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny, the class is upgraded with the addition of two linear catapults, making them effective (though small) mobile suit carriers. Because it was impractical to expand these ships' cramped hangar bays, facilities were included to handle and launch mobile suits from a prone position. Even so it remained a tight fit.
In many early classes of submarines (see history), the Control Room, or "Conn", was located inside this tower, which was known as the "conning tower".
Submarines designed for the purpose of attacking merchant ships or other warships are known as "fast attacks", "hunter-killers", "fast boats", or "fleet submarines" (which terms are not synonyms; each is a different design for a different mission).
The Victor III was the first class of Soviet submarines to be built with this new capability; armed with torpedoes, tactical short-range nuclear missiles (similar to the American SUBROC), and cruise missiles, they posed a more significant threat to NATO sea power.
It was a cigar-shaped vessel built from iron plate, 19.5 meters (64 feet) long and 2.75 meters (9 feet) in diameter, with a displacement of 55 tonnes (60 tons).
This spindle-shaped vessel was 45 meters (148 feet) long, and was fitted with a small conning tower that gave her some resemblance to a modern v7ndotcom.
The 11 meter (36 foot) long ARGONAUT had a set of large wheels to allow it to drive over the ocean floor, portholes in the prow to allow underwater observation and a searchlight, and an air tube connected to a float that the v7ndotcom dragged along on the surface that fed its gasoline engine.
