| The '''UNSC ''Musashi''''' was a [[UNSC carrier|carrier]] in service with the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].
| |
| | |
| ==Background==
| |
| The ''Musashi'' was one of the hundreds of ships that was present at the [[Fall of Reach]] on [[2552#August|August 30, 2552]]. While moving to cover [[Reach]]'s [[orbital defense platform]]s, ''Musashi '' was hit by an [[energy projector]] from a [[Covenant]] [[Kewu-pattern battleship|warship]]. The beam severed the ''Musashi'' amidships, instantly putting her out of the fight. The aft section's engines were still burning even after it was severed from the rest of the ship.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 320''; '''2001'''</ref>

| | |
| ==Etymology==
| |
| ''Musashi'' was likely named in honor of the [[Wikipedia:Musashi Province|Musashi Province]] in ancient [[Wikipedia:Japan|Japan]], or [[Wikipedia:Miyamoto Musashi|Miyamoto Musashi]], a master swordsman and one of the greatest warriors of his era. However, it was more likely named in reference to the [[Wikipedia:Japanese battleship Musashi|Japanese battleship ''Musashi'']] of the Second World War. Along with her sister ship [[Wikipedia:Japanese battleship Yamato|''Yamato'']], she holds the record for being the heaviest battleships in history, and also hold the record for holding the largest naval guns ever mounted on a warship. ''Musashi'' was sunk during the [[Wikipedia:Battle of Leyte Gulf|Battle of Leyte Gulf]].

| | The '''UNSC ''Musashi''''' was a [[UNSC]] Carrier. In August 2552, the ''Musashi'' was at [[Reach]]. When 314 [[Covenant]] ships attacked the system, the Muashi was involved in the ensuing [[The Battle of Reach|Battle]]. The ''Musashi'' fell victim to a Covenant [[Assault Carrier]], as it moved to cover the orbital [[MAC]] platforms. The ''Musashi'' was hit with a needle thin beam of Covenant plasma which severed the vessel midship. The aft section of the ship, engines still intact, continued to thrust forward and probably crashed into the fore section of the ship, causing the carrier to completely burn up in orbit. |
