Technical and Historical Notes

With war coming to Earth, ZAFT designs various mobile suits to attain supremacy over the entire planet. The UMF-4A GOOhN is one of two suits designed specifically for amphibious combat, along with the UMF-5 ZnO. As an aquatic unit, the GOOhN can transform into a 'swim mode' to travel at high speeds and ram enemy mobile suits or vessels. Aside from the main GOOhN, ZAFT also produces the experimental variant UTA/TE-6 G00hN Underground Mobility Test Type. The GOOhN is more heavily armed than the ZnO, but it features the same main weapon: the phonon maser high-powered lasers that can travel through water. Other armaments include two 7-barrel missile launchers mounted on the forearms, along with a rifle dart launcher and supercavitating missile launcher. In combat, GOOhNs are usually deployed from Vosgulov class submarines and operate in conjunction with ZnOs and on occasion the UWMF-1/S GINN WASP Type. GOOhNs are widely used across Earth's oceans, and many units participate in Operation Spitbreak's unsuccessful attack on the Earth Alliance's Alaska Base.
