| :The vessel has not changed it's identity. Its name and registry number are the same as when it was a part of the CAA. But, recall that the UNSC took over the authority from the CAA at the beginning of the war. This mining ship was changed to ordnance transportation, but the CAA was now run by the UNSC even as of the Battle of Kholo, so you'd expect the UNSC might slap a UNSC logo on the side of the hull for it's re-purposed missions. Now, why it's a post-war UNSC icon and not the older style...well, if Halo 4 didn't already put that stuff all over the ''Dawn'' and its vehicle complement, I'd have said it was a slightly imperfect holographic recreation in the Spartan-IV training facilities on board ''Infinity'' where Adrift takes place. This freighter may be a very old design as well, since the Strategy Guide map content also alludes to it being from the UNSC's colonization days.

| ==Possible New Content Information?==
| |
|
| |
| Why was the New Content template removed? I put it there because Stephen Loftus speculated that there may possibly be new information coming soon, what with the ''Halo 4: Essential Visual Guide'' coming out in September this year. But it is just speculation. Another thing I'm speculating/wondering is, was or is the ship presumed lost? But still, maybe we should err on the side of caution... --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmit</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 12:49, 10 June 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330

| == Rename ==

| I believe the article should be renamed to CFM-88. If I'm not mistaken, the editing convention of this wiki on the use of "Unidentified ship DA DA DA" is only if there is no other identifier/descriptor that could be used for the subject. This vehicle however does have one: CFM-88. Just like [[FFG-127]].— [[User:Hacame|<span style="color:#6699FF; font-family:Futura; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold;">Ha</span>]][[User talk:Hacame|<span style="color:#6699FF; font-family:Futura; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold;">came</span>]] 22:48, 10 June 2013 (EDT)

| :I agree with this move in part. We'll know more ''I'm sure'' by September, but consider this: If it's just changed to '''CFM-88''' as a subject title and I'm doing a search for this ship because I saw it in Adrift and knew it was a mining vessel and I recall it was from the CAA but didn't remember its registry number, would I still find it in a search for "CAA" or "Mining"? Just curious. [[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 22:52, 10 June 2013 (EDT)

| ::I personally oppose this move. The present article title is much more specific. Moving it to just plain CFM-88 is a dumb move, to be completely honest.

| ::::The use of "Unidenfied Da Da Da" is just unnecessary IMO, per above. I don't know how it is a dumb move and hull classification symbol is a ship's identifier, which effectively identifies one ship from another.

| :(''reset indent'') No, I don't. I'm just saying, it is not descriptive enough. Please, I'm not trying to start an edit war or anything. What's wrong with the way it is?

| ::What edit war? So far, we've been quite civil. Anywho, CFM-88 is just as descriptive as FFG-127: CFM is a classification for a mining vessel whereas FFG is for a frigate.

| :I agree with the rename. When we have anything resembling an official title, it's useless to include any extra words (especially the redundant "unidentified" - we know it's unidentified from the lack of a proper name). All of our other articles for ships that have not been named but whose hull classification symbols are known ([[FFG-127]], [[DD-993]], [[ONI PRO-49776]]) follow a similar format, so I don't see why this article should be any different. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 02:34, 15 June 2013 (EDT)
