Dessler's Red Battle Carrier

[darkyamato]

In "Space Battleship Yamato: The New Voyage", the battle carrier Dessler was commanding appeared to be red, rather than in green, which was the ship's color in "Space Battleship Yamato 2" (known in North America as "Star Blazers: The Comet Empire"). Could it be that Dessler's battle carrier got repainted after the Earth Vs. White Comet Empire war or could it be that the green carrier Dessler commanded in "Yamato 2" is a whole different ship from the ship he commanded in this film

There are at least 3 possible theories about this:

• Dessler's battle carrier got repainted from green to red after the Earth Vs. White Comet Empire war, which was depicted throughout "Yamato 2".
  
• The green battle carrier Dessler commanded in "Yamato 2" and the red battle carrier he commanded were actually two different ships, whether the red battle carrier was a mass-production model (like the green one) or that it was a rebuilt of the red battle carrier that fought the Yamato during the battle at the Rainbow Star Cluster in the first "Space Battleship Yamato" T.V. series.
  
• The "Space Battleship Yamato" production staff made a continuity error during the making of this made-for-T.V. movie.

I think it was a different ship, possibly custom-built for Desslar, because it had one feature no other Gamilus battle carrier had; namely, its Desslar Cannon. No other Gamilus or Garuman carrier ever had this feature.
