The Izumo-class was a class of battleship produced by Morgenroete Inc. and used by the Orb National Defense Force. The Izumo's design later served as the basis for the Earth Alliance's new Archangel-class assault ship, and thus both classes have similar bridge layouts and weaponry. However, the Izumo-class has fewer weapons, featuring only four "Lohengrin" Positron Blaster Cannons, two Dual High-energy "Gottfried" Beam Cannons, twelve missile launchers, and at least sixteen CIWS.

The first ship and namesake of the class belongs to Orb's Sahaku family. It was first used by Rondo Gina Sahaku as his base of operations. Gina planned to strengthen Orb's position by playing the Earth Alliance and ZAFT against each other. He was, however, later killed by Gai Murakumo. Afterward, Gina's twin sister - Rondo Mina Sahaku took control of the Izumo.
