The '''Howler missile''' is a ship-to-ship missile used by the [[UNSC Navy]].


==Overview==
==Overview==
Warships usually carry Howler missiles to complement their [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s. Unlike missiles such as the [[Archer missile|Archer]], the Howler does not pack as powerful a punch individually, but is instead designed to overwhelm enemy defenses in mass saturation attacks against dense anti-missile networks. Accordingly, they are extremely fast and agile but lack many of the warhead options available to other systems like the Archer.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-encyclopedia-extravaganza|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Encyclopedia Extravaganza|D=01|M=06|Y=2022}}
Warships usually carry Howler missiles to complement their [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s. Howler pods usually carry twenty missiles each.
