The Gohten (轟天 Gōten) is a drill-nosed spaceship which first appeared in the 1977 Toho film, The War in Space. It is based on the Gotengo from Atragon.
Name
The Gohten's name comes from the Gotengo, simply omitting the "-gō" suffix which serves to designate the craft as a type of ship. As such, the Gohten's name simply translates to "Roaring Heavens" in English. The "-gō" is also omitted from the ship's name in GODZILLA: Monster Apocalypse, however in this novel the craft is more similar to the original Gotengo featured in Atragon than the Gohten.
History
