In the anime Mobile Suit Gundam, the Principality of Zeon's Gaw Atmosphereic Attack Carrier, known very simple as the Gaw, is a flying fortress that was sent in to attack and obliterate its target. The Gaw also sported three mega particle cannons for attacking bases and other large-scale aircraft.
The Gaw's eight Dopps and three MS units made them very effective in their ship-type as carriers. The Gaw could also hold a large number of gravity bombs which made extremely effective as carpet bombers.
Several Gaws were used in the unsuccessful Zeon offensive in their attempt to take the Earth Federation's General Headquarters in Jaburo, in which they dropped off their payloads of mobile suits to take the attack to the ground and to try to force their way inside.
