The Crassus-class supercarrier is a kind of large, seaborne warship manufactured by SinoViet Heavy Machinery and fielded by various human military forces on Earth.[1]
Ships of the line
- UNSC Crassus - the lead ship of the class.
- At least one other vessel[4]
Operational history
At least two such aircraft carriers took part during the Battle of Mombasa on October 20, 2552. These vessels deployed F99 UCAVs to provide surveillance and air strikes against the Covenant, supporting scattered UNSC Marines and New Mombasa Police Department personnel from around the Mombasa Quays.[5]
Production notes
During Halo 3's development, the UNSC was going to have a "wet NAVY" that included an aircraft carrier.[6]
