''[[Halo 2]]'' established the length of a UNSC frigate to be 478 meters; this was the later-named ''Stalwart'' class. Later, when a UNSC destroyer was first depicted in visual media with ''[[UNSC The Heart of Midlothian|The Heart of Midlothian]]'', it was established that the ship was 485 meters in length; an addition of 7m to the length of the ''Stalwart'' class. In ''Halo: The Cole Protocol'' (page 35), the ''Midsummer Night'' is revealed to be a light frigate. ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' established that the ''Stalwart'' and ''Charon'' classes would be considered light frigates, while the [[Paris-class heavy frigate|''Paris'' class]] would remain a heavy; a conscious decision to establish the ''Stalwart'' as the class the ''Meriwether Lewis'' and ''Midsummer Night'' belong to. Furthermore, since ''Stalwart'' is both a light frigate and the only frigate class to be 478 meters in length, the ''Meriwether Lewis'' and ''Midsummer Night'' must be part of this class.</ref> | ||
