In the fictional Gundam universe, the Columbus class is the Federation's fleet of resupply ships that were created to keep the space fleets resupplied while they were not in action. Columbus class ships were successful in this role, but many of the vessles were commandeered by the space fleet commanders for use as makeshift mobile suit carriers during the One Year War.
Like most ships in the Federation's space fleet, the Columbus class was refitted between U.C. 0079 and UC 0083, resulting in the Columbus Kai class. Unlike earlier Coloumbus class vessles, the Columbus Kai was not used to ferry mobile suits.
It should also be noted that it was a Columbus-class ship which was modified into a control ship for both Solar Flare Systems.
[edit] Trivia
It is believed that those retrofitted for a carrier duty had several anti-aircraft guns fitted for some protections.
