'''Carrier''' is a capital warship classification used by the [[UNSC Navy]]. | |||
== | ==Design== | ||
The Navy operates several carrier classes, including the ''[[Poseidon-class light carrier|Poseidon]]'', ''[[Orion-class assault carrier|Orion]]'', ''[[Epoch-class heavy carrier|Epoch]]'', and ''[[Punic-class supercarrier|Punic]]'' classes.{{Ref/Note|The ''Atlas'' as seen in ''Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp'' and the ''Musashi'' as seen in ''Fall of Reach - Invasion'' do not appear to belong to any of the established carrier classes. The former shares design features with the {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}} and the ''Epoch''-class carrier while the latter vaguely resembles the {{Class|Halberd|destroyer}}. The ''Atlas'' was later depicted in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'' with a completely different design reminiscent of the ''Punic''-class supercarrier; while the newer depiction is presumably the ship's canonical appearance, the prior incarnation may nonetheless represent a canonically distinct class.}} UNSC carriers range from light warships to among the largest ships in service. The smallest known class, the Poseidon-class light carrier, is only 719 meters from stem to stern, smaller than a cruiser.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.org/halobulletins/147 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin 5.14.14'']</ref> The largest carrier class is three kilometers long and has a beam of 120 meters.{{Ref/Reuse|enc}} Carriers have a crew and complement of 2,100 and can carry numerous space, air, and ground vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|enc}} Befitting their role, their primary asset is a large number of [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] interceptors or [[F-41 Broadsword]] multirole fighters. | |||
== | ==Armament== | ||
Despite their size, UNSC carriers depend on their fighter wings for offense, though they are often equipped with at least one [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. Secondary armament is provided by 300 [[Archer missile]]s, while tertiary armament includes two [[fusion rocket]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|enc}} Carriers also mount numerous [[point defense gun]]s, such as the [[M910 point defense network]] used by the ''Epoch''-class, as well as several nuclear missiles of various types. | |||
