| The '''M2950 Harpoon nuclear missile''' is a [[missile]]-based [[nuclear weapon]] delivery system employed by the [[UNSC Navy]]. Twelve such silos are employed as armaments on the {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=120}}, with at least 24 such weapons mounted on the [[refit station]] [[Anchor 9]].{{Ref/Game|HR|Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace}} | | The '''Harpoon nuclear missile''' is a [[United Nations Space Command]] starship-mounted [[nuclear weapon|thermonuclear weapon]]. It is mentioned in a piece of concept art for the [[UNSC corvette]] [[UNSC Andraste|''Andraste'']] that [[Isaac Hannaford]] designed for ''[[Halo 3]]'', though it was not featured in the game.<ref>[[:File:H3 - FrigateOverview.png|UNSC ''Andraste'' overview by Isaac Hannaford]]</ref> |

| ==Production notes==
| |
| The Harpoon nuclear missile was first-mentioned in a piece of concept art for the frigate [[UNSC Andraste|''Andraste'']] in a concept pieace done by [[Isaac Hannaford]] for ''[[Halo 3]]''. Ultimately, the ship (and weapon) was not featured in-game, but the design was faithfully recreated for inclusion in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The Harpoon is mentioned in the concept art, labelling several silos present on the upper decks of the ship.<ref>[[:File:H3 UNSCAndraste Concept.png|UNSC ''Andraste'' overview by Isaac Hannaford]]</ref> The name was later fully-canonised in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
