Star Wars Ships and Vehicles
Mon Calamari Shipyards
Having been relatively isolated from the Republic and Empire, the Mon Calamari's vessels were originally meant for exploration of surrounding star systems. However, when the Empire attempted to bring their planet under its control, the Calamari converted it's well-built craft to very capable warships. The Mon Calamari eventually joined the Alliance and New Republic, and their contributions of warships gave them significant influence in those organizations.
Warships of the Mon Calamari lists more ships that were probably designed or manufactured by the Calamari.

Home One was Admiral Ackbar's flagship during the Battle of Endor. It most likely represents an entire class of Calamari warships, since we've seen identical ships at the aforementioned and other battles. The cylinder-shaped Home One is significantly larger than most Calamari ships we've seen, and possesses several unusual external pod-like structures (which might be sensors, bridges, or command centers).

The MC40a is one of the smaller Mon Calamari ships; it's less than half as long as the MC80 and other common designs. It most likely serves as a destroyer or support ship, or a downscaled cruiser. (Source: X-wing: Alliance) |

Among the most common Mon Calamari ships, the MC80 was designed before the planet joined the Alliance. Thus, even the navalized version of these ships are best suited for a Calamari crew, and resemble the explorer vessels they once were. Nonetheless, due to their renowned sturdiness, MC80s can easily take on many larger and more powerful warships. The MC80 may have been one of the ship types seen in the movie, although it is not known which one. Besides Home One, there were two cruiser designs, one with wings and one without. The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels shows the winged one to be the MC80, but this is not necessarily accurate. (Source: Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels) |

The MC80a is apparently just a newer version of the MC80, with a different hull design but similar capabilities. X-wing Vs. TIE Fighter shows an entirely different ship, with a length of 1300 meters, to be the MC80a. (Source: Cracken's Threat Dossier) |

The Mon Calamari introduced the MC80B several months after the Battle of Endor as an intermediate between the MC80 and upcoming MC90. The MC80B still resembles the older ships, but is more suited to a role as a warship. It is slightly faster than previous Calamari designs, but the first versions had limited fighter-carrying capability. (Source: Cracken's Threat Dossier) |

Although it's not especially apparent, the MC90 is the first Calamari ship designed exclusively as a naval ship. Although the general design is similar to past vessels, there are several internal changes, including heavier weapons and species-independent controls. (Source: Dark Empire Sourcebook) |
