| A '''frigate''' is a type of [[warship]] in both the [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[fleet]]s. Frigates appear to be larger than [[corvette]]s, more versatile than [[destroyer]]s and smaller than [[cruiser]]s.

| ==Summary==
| | *[[Covenant frigate]] - A small ship with little armament or shielding. |
| In the [[UNSC Navy]], frigates form the backbone of any fleet or [[battle group]], while cruisers appear to fill a similar role within the Covenant. As their most ubiquitous warship, the UNSC uses frigates in a broad range of roles, ranging from heavy air support to fighter escort and fleet engagements. Some UNSC frigates are equipped with a sizable cargo bay for larger [[D77-TC Pelican|dropships]] and armor complements. The UNSC has also employed [[UNSC light frigate|light frigates]] equipped with stealth systems in a specialized reconnaissance role.{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]|Page=35}} Covenant frigates are not as commonly seen as their UNSC counterparts, but one of their roles appears to be escorting larger ships such as [[destroyer]]s or [[carrier]]s.{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]|Page=145}}
| | *[[UNSC frigate]] - A small ship that supports larger ships and ferries equipment and soldiers. |
| | *[[UNSC light frigate]] - A small ship, much like the UNSC Frigate. |
| | *[[UNSC heavy frigate]] - A heavier variant of the standard UNSC frigate. |
