'''UNSC ''Savannah''''' ([[hull classification symbol]] '''FFG-371'''),{{Ref/Reuse|EVGSavannah}} was a {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}} in service with the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. It was captained by [[Kristòf Jen]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVGSavannah}} 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 [[FSS-1000 Sabre]] fighters to board a [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}}.{{Ref/Reuse|HRLNoS}}

==Service history==
The ''Savannah'' was assigned to the planet Reach, and likely the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]] itself, in the summer of [[2542]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Fall of Reach===
{{Main|Fall of Reach}}
By 2552, the ''Savannah'' was a part of the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVGSavannah}} It was heavily involved in the defense of Reach during the early parts of the invasion of the world.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

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 {{Pattern|Sh'wada|supercarrier}} ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''. Escorting a squadron of [[FSS-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/Reuse|HRLNoS}}

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

* According to Random Dialogue in Halo: Reach, an unnamed UNSC Army Trooper's niece was born aboard the Savannah.
