The Galvedes flight deck can be converted between landing strip and deck-guns for battleship mode, as seen in the series. //Unfortunately// the deck guns don't rotate in place; you need to take off the flight deck panel and replace it with the deck gun part instead.

The carrier also includes the large fighter/bomber as seen in the 2199 episode where it attacks the Yamato with an asteroid drill. The fighter is to-scale, and can be positioned on the flight deck. In addition there is a not-to-scale saucer-section escape vessel from another Gamillas ship; the Domelus III dreadnought:
