The ''Anlace''-class' design is considered somewhat novel for the [[UNSC Navy]], with a lifting body hull and maneuvering systems well adapted for atmospheric operations.{{Ref/Reuse|CFCalm}} The ''Anlace''-class frigate is the smallest [[frigate]] currently in service with the UNSC Navy, with a length of 372 meters (1,220 feet).{{Ref/Reuse|osfm}}

Outside of physical combat, the ''Anlace'' is employed in an electronic warfare (EW) role. When employed in pairs, two ''Anlace''-class frigates are capable of projecting a jamming blanket around an entire planet, preventing communications within this zone. The frigates are also equipped with high-definition sensors, which are able to accurately detect any object larger than a [[Warthog]] within ten light-minutes of their location.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR13|HSoR|Chapter=13}}
Outside of physical combat, the ''Anlace'' is specialised for support roles in the fleet and can be fitted with numerous modular mission packs. These include refits intended for reconnaissance or disruption.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} When equipped with an electronic warfare (EW) suite, ''Anlace'' frigates can mask a UNSC presence or inhibit communication between enemy ships.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} When employed in pairs, two ''Anlace''-class frigates are capable of projecting a jamming blanket around an entire planet, preventing communications within this zone.

Offensively, the ''Anlace''-class differs significantly from other contemporary frigate classes such as the {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}. Unlike such models, the Anlace lacks a large spinal mount for a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]<ref>[[Archive:Spartan Games - Kenneth Peters interview]]</ref> and [[missile]] pods in the most common configuration. Instead, it relies on [[directed energy weapon]]s for sustained combat operations between resupply.{{Ref/Reuse|CFCalm}} Nevertheless, a modest MAC is built atop the frigate, mounted further back than on other models.{{Ref/Reuse|Loftus1}}

The vessel is equipped with eight [[AN/SEQ-11 point-defense laser array]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
