"Assault Carrier" is the term ambiguously applied to the largest of the battleships within the Covenant. "Assault Carriers" serve as the flagships of large fleets, and carry the greatest firepower. The Assault Carrier easily dwarfs even the mighty UNSC cruisers, as seen in this comparison of ships.
They are larger than CCS-class Battle Cruisers, with three primary bulbous sections as opposed to the single one atop a CCS-class ship. The term "assault carrier" comes from the viewscreen readout of the Covenant fleet in the level Cairo Station.
The Prophet of Regret's own Assault Carrier waits over New Mombasa.
In the Halo 3 preview, the only Covenant capital ships present in the "excavation force" at the site of the Forerunner artifact appear to be Assault Carriers.
