The '''UNSC ''Wink of an Eye''''' was a [[UNSC Prowler|prowler]] in the [[UNSC Navy]].<ref name="evo">'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]", ''page 477''</ref> 

==Background==
The UNSC ''Wink of an Eye'' was assigned to [[UNSC Battle Group India]]. The ship took part in the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]], better known as [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Admiral Cole's]] [[Admiral Cole's Last Stand|Last Stand]]. The prowler was in the [[Psi Serpentis System]] for [[seven]] days prior to the battle, scouting and waiting for the rest of the fleet to arrive. At the outset of the battle the vessel then transitioned into [[slipspace]] to drop [[Slipspace guidance beacon|guidance beacons]] in order for the rest of the fleet to perform an unprecedented in-system slipspace jump.{{Ref/Reuse|evo}}

==Trivia==
The vessel's name references the idiom "in the wink of an eye," meaning "instantaneously" or "extremely quickly." It could also be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Wink of an Eye|an episode]] of ''[[Wikipedia:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'', a popular science fiction show and franchise.
