Following the successful mass production of the UMF-4A GOOhN, the Clarke Design Bureau began developing another amphibious mobile suit for ZAFT, resulting in the UMF-5 ZnO. While the GOOhN specializes in underwater firepower, the ZnO is designed specifically for close combat, in the expectation that the Earth Alliance would soon develop its own underwater mobile weapons. As a result, the ZnO has a pair of large claws on its flexible arms, and the palm-mounted phonon maser cannons can be used for devastating point-blank attacks. The mobile suit also has a pair of 6-tube torpedo launchers surrounding its head that are used for medium-range attacks. On the battlefield, the ZnO was often deployed with the GOOhN, enabling a wide variety of combat operations.

Like the GOOhN, the ZnO can transform into Cruising Mode to reduce water resistance for high-speed underwater movement. However, not only can the ZnO switch between its MS Mode and Cruising Mode faster than the GOOhN, the ZnO's disc-like Cruising Mode also has better underwater cruising capabilities.
