The hull numbers are usually assigned to each ship consecutively, though number sequences may be skipped for a variety of reasons (planned ships that were never commissioned or bureaucratic maneuvering, for example) and older numbers may be reused for new ships in order to "inherit" the identity of a particular storied vessel.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFHullCode|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=24|M=09|Y=2021|Quote='''Are UNSC hull numbers consecutive? e.g. is FUD 106 FFGs “older” than Aegis Fate?'''<br>Within a series, generally.

| | The '''Hull Classification Symbol''' is placed on each and every [[UNSC]] ship. Different types and sizes of ship have different classification symbols. Placed after the symbol is a number. Each ship of that class gets a different number. This way, the Hull Classification Symbol is a sort of numerical identification system for ships, other than their names. |

|
| The [[Covenant]] and its [[Covenant remnants|splinter factions]] use their own system of [[Covenant fleet#Ship classification codes|three-letter classification codes]] which are assigned based on a ship's "Primary", "Secondary", and "Tertiary" features.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}} | | The symbol based on the [[Wikipedia:Hull classification symbol|hull classification symbol]] system used by the United States Navy in the 20th and 21st centuries with few differences. The symbols have a few things in common, a symbol beginning with "FF" generally denotes a Frigate, "DD" a Destroyer, "CC" a Cruiser, "CV" a Carrier, and "BB" a Battleship. The rest of the letters vary depending on the type of vessel. There can be dozens of types of each class of vessel. |
