Their service lives were short due to a unique hull design that was costly to construct and maintain with low maneuverability, poor armament, and concerns about their tactical viability. They were replaced by the {{Class|Marathon|cruiser}}. Despite the disadvantages of the original design, ~~all~~ the ships of the class were heavily modified and proved to be a quite powerful and deadly opponent to covenant warships ~~one~~ of these ships the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} proved to be one of the most effective, and costly, ships deployed in the war.
