The single [[hangar bay]] of the ''Halberd'' class is small and confined, with little maneuvering room for shuttlecraft.{{Ref/Reuse|cp25}} When the ''Halberd''-class destroyer was introduced, its hangar was considered state-of-the-art, featuring a specialized set of [[Gravitics|gravity generators]] that can decelerate incoming small craft,{{Ref/Reuse|wf32}} which can also be reconfigured to fit an electromagnetic catapult launch assist that can quickly deploy shuttlecraft.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} Traditional electromagnetic launch hooks and arrestor cables are still fitted, in case of emergencies.{{Ref/Reuse|wf32}} Unlike most warships of the UNSC Navy, they do not carry [[space fighter]]s{{Ref/Reuse|for139}} in their standard configuration. They do, however, carry two [[D77-TC Pelican]] [[dropship]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|wf32}}{{Ref/Reuse|cp25}} | The single [[hangar bay]] of the ''Halberd'' class is small and confined, with little maneuvering room for shuttlecraft.{{Ref/Reuse|cp25}} When the ''Halberd''-class destroyer was introduced, its hangar was considered state-of-the-art, featuring a specialized set of [[Gravitics|gravity generators]] that can decelerate incoming small craft,{{Ref/Reuse|wf32}} which can also be reconfigured to fit an electromagnetic catapult launch assist that can quickly deploy shuttlecraft.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} Traditional electromagnetic launch hooks and arrestor cables are still fitted, in case of emergencies.{{Ref/Reuse|wf32}} Unlike most warships of the UNSC Navy, they do not carry [[space fighter]]s{{Ref/Reuse|for139}} in their standard configuration.

''Halberd'' destroyers are only crewed by 250 sailors, a relatively small crew for a ship of its size. They also carry a small complement of 50 [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], enough for a single [[platoon]].{{Ref/Reuse|wf32}} The crew quarters are cramped with limited recreational facilities{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} and only basic kitchen facilities. Strictly utilitarian in design, each crew member is allocated a single sleeping pod, though some personnel may have to share the same pod with another when the ship carries additional personnel.{{Ref/Reuse|wf32}} | ''Halberd'' destroyers are only crewed by 250 sailors, a relatively small crew for a ship of its size.
