'''UNSC ''Savannah''''', [[hull classification symbol]] '''FFG-371''',<ref name="essential"/> was a [[Paris-class heavy frigate|''Paris''-class heavy frigate]] in service with the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92Bbw-KHajs&feature=player_embedded#at=47 '''YouTube''' - ''The Battle Begins - Halo: Reach campaign trailer'']</ref> It was captained by [[Kristòf Jen]].<ref name="essential"/> The ''Savannah'' participated in the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552#August|summer 2552]], where it aided in the defense of ''[[Anchor 9]]'' during [[Operation: UPPER CUT]], later being escorted by multiple [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropships and [[YSS-1000 Sabre]] fighters to board a [[Covenant]] {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}}.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfYZgMbXPFI '''YouTube''' - ''E3 2010 Campaign Walkthrough'']</ref>

==History==

The ''Savannah'' took part in [[Operation: UPPER CUT]], docking at the ''Anchor 9'' space station for the removal of its [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] for use as a makeshift bomb to destroy the {{Class|CSO|supercarrier}} ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''. Escorting a squadron of [[YSS-1000 Sabre]] fighters en route to a Covenant corvette, ''[[Ardent Prayer]]''. The ''Savannah'' provided fire support, engaging the corvette and its accompanying fighter escort while [[SPARTAN-B312]] and [[Jorge-052]] boarded the ship. While the two Spartans and accompanying Marine support fought to secure the ship's hangar bay,  the ''Savannah'' continued to exchange fire with the ''Ardent Prayer'', at full broadside, which easily outgunned the smaller UNSC warship. ''Savannah'' was ordered to disengage by [[Urban Holland|Colonel Urban Holland]], but before the frigate could escape she succumbed to the corvette's barrage and was lost, presumably with all hands.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref>

Like the [[UNSC Saratoga|''Saratoga'']] and the [[UNSC Grafton|''Grafton'']], the ''Savannah'' did not have its [[hull classification symbol]] painted on its hull.
