=== Armament ===

''Moncton''-class platforms are equipped with a 14D4A1 [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], a power-hungry 802.2 metre (2,632 ft) long coilgun that fires a ferric-[[tungsten]] round traveling at several kilometers per second, which carries enough energy to punch clean through a Covenant [[capital ship]]. The shell is accelerated by hundreds of asynchronous linear induction motors which all line the barrel of the weapon. They were also equipped with seven [[M606 Goalkeeper point defense gun]]s to protect them from enemy fighters, bombers and boarding craft.<ref name="Warfleet"/>
