The '''''Black Cat''-class subprowler''' is a classification of small [[Prowler#Subprowlers|exfiltration ships]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|GoO}}


==Overview==
The '''''Black Cat''-class subprowler''' is a classification of small [[Prowler#Subprowlers|exfiltration ships]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 86''</ref>
===Design details===
 
Designated as "subprowlers," they have extremely limited capabilities and are used mostly as exfiltration craft to escape combat situations with stealth and ease. The ''Black Cat''-class subprowlers have [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace capacitor]] of limited use; the capacitor has enough charge for about four hours. Once the capacitor exceeded this duration, the vessel would not be able to enter slipspace.{{Ref/Reuse|GoO}}

''Black Cats'' are routinely used on high-risk operations so that [[UNSC Special Forces]] can retreat quickly and easily, as well as reconnaissance, and troop infiltration and exfiltration missions.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} Each subprowler can hold approximately thirty-eight [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-III supersoldiers]].{{Ref/Note|Id=Troops|1=300 Spartans / 8 subprowlers = 37.5 (or 38) Spartans per subprowler}}

==Operational history==
==Operational history==
''Black Cat''-class subprowlers were in service with the [[UNSC Navy]] in the early 26th century.{{Ref/Site|Id=acrisius|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/oni-acrisius|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=ONI Acrisius|D=30|M=06|Y=2021}} Eight such craft were inserted for the Spartan-IIIs during [[Operation: TORPEDO]] in [[2545]], but only one was used as only two Spartans, [[Lucy-B091]] and [[Tom-B292]], survived the engagement.{{Ref/Reuse|GoO}} After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] designed the {{Class|Winter|prowler}} with the ''Black Cat''-class subprowler's form and functionality in mind.{{Ref/Reuse|acrisius}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
 
*Black Cat class may refer from US Navy Black Cats that serve as Maritime Patrol and SAR (Search and Rescue) during World War II.
The class may be named after the PBY Catalina flying boat  squadrons reffered to as  the Black Cats, during the Second World War. Painted completely dark, Black Cats  were tasked with striking targets taking advantage of the cover of night, akin to the stealth role of the Black Cat Subprowler.{{Ref/Site|Id=blackcat|URL=https://web.archive.org/web/20200831082522/https://sofrep.com/news/black-cats-rule-the-night/|Site=SOFREP|Page=BLACK CATS RULE THE NIGHT|D=22|M=07|Y=2024}}
