| |class={{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}}{{Ref/Note|Id=stalwart|In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' (page 163 of the Definitive Edition or 139 of the original edition), it is stated that [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]]' new ship, the [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] ''[[UNSC Iroquois|Iroquois]]'', was 7 meters longer than the frigates ''Meriwether Lewis'' and ''[[UNSC Midsummer Night|Midsummer Night]]''. ''[[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.}} | | |class=[[UNSC Frigate]] |

| [[Jacob Keyes]] served aboard this vessel prior to [[2531]], and defended the vessel against an overwhelming [[Covenant]] attack force with only a small security force. Keyes charged the boarders with only an [[M6 series|M6 magnum]],<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 34''</ref> sustaining several injuries in the process including [[plasma]] burns on his thigh and hand.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 22''</ref> For his bravery on the vessel, Keyes received a [[Medal of Honor]].<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 270''</ref> | | [[Captain Keyes]] served aboard this vessel prior to [[2552]], and he was awarded the [[Medal of Honor]] for his efforts in defending the vessel against an overwhelming [[Covenant]] attack force with only a small security force. It is unknown if it is still in service. |

| ''Meriwether Lewis'' remained in service in the wake of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. At some point before [[2558|October 2558]], the ''Meriwether Lewis'' had a [[Spartan Operations|Spartan]] contingent, with Spartan [[Edward Buck]] acting as Spartan Commander before being transferred to {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} and [[Fireteam Osiris]].<ref name="H5GLtd">'''Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition''', ''Spartan Locke's Classified Orders''</ref> | | ''In the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' manual, this ship was classified as a Colony Ship for some reason.

The ship is mistakenly referred to as "''Merriweather Lewis''" in the [[Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition|''Halo 5: Guardians'' Limited Edition]].
| |
| *In the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' manual, this ship was classified as a [[colony ship]]. For more information see [[List of inconsistencies in the Halo series]].
