These ships are designed around MS transportation and combat . These vessles are lightly armed when compared to other Zeon ship classes , sporting only two beam turrets and a handful of missile launchers . They were designed with speed as its main feature ( mainly due to its new type of engine ) in order to use hit and run tactics . The class also had a large mobile suit capacity , between eight and ten mobile suits , a number that the Earth Federation would not have until they commissioned their Alexandria -class heavy cruisers . The only known Tivvay class cruiser is the Graf Zepplin , which appeared in Gundam 0080 . This vessel served as a flagship for Captain Von Helsing ( no relation to the vampire hunter ) and his small Zeon taskforce , who were dispatched to launch a diversionary attack on Side 6 to allow the Cyclops team entry . Later , this vessel and two Musai class ships were used to ferry nuclear arms to Side 6 . Graf Zepplin and her two Musai -class escorts were intercepted by a Federation patrol in the vicininty of Side 6 and surrendered to the Federation in late December UC 0079 . The fate of the Graf Zepplin past this point is not known . The name Graf Zepplin may be in reference to Ferdinand von Zeppelin , however that has not been confirmed .
