So I am confused. Is it '''300 Archer Missiles''' or '''300 A.M. pods'''? the citing on this didn't really help.- Mancave300

i believe that the reason for all these diferent ships bieng made flagship, i believe the best explanation for this would be that the ship put in 'command' would have the highest ranking officer on, it is the only way to put all this together and make sense. [[User:J!MMY8806|J!MMY8806]] 22:19, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
an admiral's ship is always the flagship even if it's a life boat it's common practice of the USN although our navy hasn't been in that kind of situation since the 1700s ha ha

I think everyone is too obsessed with Which-Ship-Is-More-Powerful. i mean, look at the ships of today. each performs a different purpose. the Carrier in GoO had command because THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE FOR!! Carriers are lightly armed, but carry plenty of Fighters. they're not as POWERFUL as other ships, but they're more USEFUL. -SpecOps306

it doesnt state they are lightly armed, so we do not know [[User:J!MMY8806|J!MMY8806]] 10:00, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
About the cruiser bieng more powerful = if the UNSC ships that we do not know about are anything like the covenant in terms of the CCS battle cruiser bieng weaker than the Assualt carrier i belive this could be the same with the UNSC ships seen as though these are starships not little poxy things that float on water. [[User:J!MMY8806|J!MMY8806]] 22:19, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
But they perform the same role. look it up sometime, you'll be amazed what those "little poxy things that float on water" can do. they patrol space, like modern ships, they engage enemy units similar to todays navy (except for the whole movement-in-three-dimensions thing), and carry armaments that are being considered for naval warships these days. each type has a role: you wouldnt send a Carrier after a submarine, no more than you'd send a Frigate to launch airstrikes against somalia. -SpecOps306
mabey its because a unsc cruiser is like ww2 battleship back then admirals used either as a flagship
well all that is obvious i know that but you have to take in fact these:
*we currently do not have interstellar travel and the ships of today are made to float on water not fly through space which is completely and utterly diffrent in almost every way so we can not state what we do not know about. (and the reason i refered to them as poxy little ships is because the ships in halo range from just over 1&nbsp;km, if you know any ship today that comes near that then please speak up?)
*another point is that the UNSC call the ships based on thier own classifications, yes? so if they refer to them by tonage as it is predicted and stated they do e.g Halcyon class cruiser bieng made the smallest ship designated the Cruiser classification, then from the looks of things the carrier would be a bigger tonage egualing more power based on the predictions used by the way they name the Covenant ships
*and lastly i know that there are different roles but you have to take in consideration that these do travel through space, and it is stated that the Cruisers carried Longswords, pelicans aswell as the frigates evan carrying these, so if you could name me a Battlecruiser of todays modern age that carrys fighters and mass helicopters and evan better frigates that do, then go ahead but from the information we have been given and from pure general knowledge space vessels are extremely diffrent to vessels of today, there?
kk thanks, [[User:J!MMY8806|J!MMY8806]] 12:41, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
I know all that. and there are pretty large ships today: the USS Enterprise, a modern nuclear aircraft carrier, is 1,123 meters long. but all i am trying to say is that power isnt everything. -SpecOps306
you mean feet long its 342.3 m long, [[User:J!MMY8806|J!MMY8806]] 12:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
stupid imperial measurements... [[User:specops306]]
== length ==
{{Quote|(jimmy, the length comes from this...a carrier MUST be larger than a destroyer, which is 485 meters, and smaller than the length of a Covenant carrier, whose maximum is 1455 meters|RelentlessRecusant}}
hey relentless could you just tell me were it states the length of the carrier b/c id like to read it lol is it in H:GoO, H:FS, H:tF, kk mate thanks, and tell me nxt time u fancy goin on halo 2 kk mate, cheers mate [[User:J!MMY8806|J!MMY8806]] 13:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
kk bu t were does the size of the Covenant Carrier come from, kk thanks mate, [[User:J!MMY8806|J!MMY8806]] 15:14, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
:In GoO, there's the short 1st engagement between UNSC and Covvie forces enar Onyx, and it says something like a UNSC destroyer careened into a Covvie carrier 3 times its size.

== Halo arms race ==
I looked at the ship in the halo arms race and I look at the pictures of the marathon and the halcyon class cruisers and I came to 2 conclusions. 1. the ship is a critical damage halcyon class cruiser. 2. the ship can be a UNSC carrier since it doesn't look like its either of the cruisers i said since its shape is different from the others and its a big ship so I guess it might be a carrier.
Only Small ships can stay in atmosphere, Carriers are too big to stay aloft.
Well that is a Big UNSC ship floating in the atmosphere so explain that and plus the UNSC ship Skidbladnir a Phoenix-class Colony Ship landed on Harvest and that ship is bigger than a UNSC carrier. Not all UNSC ships have the ability to float in the atmosphere so certain ships can float and others fall to there death.
The [[Spirit of Fire]] managed to stay aloft while being pulled down by tractor beams on the shield world and once inside the atmosphere of the shield world the only trouble it had staying aloft was the covenant ship that grazed it and then started attacking [[User talk:Andrew-108|Andrew-108]] 17:03, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
== Battle Group Name ==
Look at how today's navy Battle Groups are named. They are all named after the carrier that is 
in the flagship position. Now today's carriers are either Aircraft Carriers or Marine Assault Carriers, neither of them can engage in ship to ship combat. So even though the carriers are obviously not the strongest ships in the Navy they are still the most important. And that is why Battle Groups are named after their respective carriers.
== Read the Book well before putting info. ==
Someone put that their are 20 UNSC carriers left in the fleet which is wrong. It says on page 162 "fall of reach" that their are 20 UNSC cruisers left in the fleet. Like the title says read the book well before putting info. and I deleted it.
== Picture of Carrier? ==
To anyone who was Halo Wars Genesis, Open it up to the "cell" about the battle of the origami asteroid field (or go to the halopedia article, I think the picture is there too.)Look at the flat ship under the word "System" in the green text box. It looks longer/bigger than the marathons and halcyons around it, even though it is still pretty close to them. Carrier?
Seriously, we've gone this long without a clue what a carrier looks like on the UNSC side? That's pitiful. It's as if the creators are deliberately avoiding their introduction. I mean, WTH??? >_<[[User talk:Fire Eater|Fire Eater]] 22:30, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
:I'm sure just about everyone has seen [http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/191accgnmnevzjpg/original.jpg this image] by now. As you can see, it contains images of both the "''Musashsi''[sic]''-Class Carrier'' and the "''Frafalgar-Class Supercarrier''". I'm not suggesting it's canon, but does anyone have any idea where the creator got these images? It doesn't seem like he just pulled them out of his ass.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px|bottom]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">''' Rusty'''</span><span style="font-size:13pt;color:red;">'''-'''</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">'''112'''</span>]] [[Halopedia:Administrators|<span style="color:red; font-family:Arial">'''''Admin'''''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Rusty-112|<font color="blue">'''comm'''</font>]]</sup> 22:29, 27 September 2013 (EDT)
::The Trafalgar-class and Musashi-class ones look like they were taken off Halo Fanon - not to mention that their "Iroquois-class destroyer" is actually the new look for the [[Charon-class light frigate|Charon-class frigate]], and the Covenant Heavy Cruiser is actually the [[Sinaris-pattern heavy destroyer|Heavy Destroyer]]. I doubt the depictions of the carrier or supercarrier have any canonical basis. -- [[User:Morhek|'''<font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font>''']] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u>''<font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font>''</u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u>''<font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font>''</u>]] 23:12, 27 September 2013 (EDT)
== picture ==
the big ship to the left is bigger then even the marathon and it is flat like a real carrier could this be a unsc carrier?
File:http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/f/f2/Battle_of_Alpha_Aurigae.jpg
Anyone think this is possible? I know that it's totally unconfirmed, but I agree; that definitely looks like a carrier in that pic.[[User talk:Fire Eater|Fire Eater]] 22:36, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
--I think that ship you pointed out is very likely to be a UNSC Carrier; is certainly is bigger than a Marathon Class Cruiser and looks like a carrier. Only thing that can be bigger than a Marathon is a UNSC Carrier, Supercarrier or Phoenix and this is no Phoenix.[[User talk:Paladin Grand Master|Paladin Grand Master]] 16:28, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
== Fighters ==
The article says "and ''most likely'' have contingents of Longsword interceptors and Shortsword bombers", they're '''''Carriers''''', of course they're going to have them.
:still with subjects with very little canonical info on them, it's best not to be too definite until you get some solid proof.--[[User talk:Zervziel|For the Swarm!]] 05:48, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
==Other Carrier Types==
* Hopefully we will someday get a confirmation on what classes the ''Atlas'', ''Musashi'' and that mystery ship at Alpha Aurigae are so that we have identified the remaining carrier types shown so far. Is Canon Loop still on? Might be a good place to get these clarified at sometime.[[User:262VigilantGuardian|262VigilantGuardian]] ([[User talk:262VigilantGuardian|talk]]) 18:18, 24 March 2016 (EDT)
