Also, spread throughout the frigate's structure are a number of its many escape pod bays. | ||

The crew number includes deck crews as well as the command crew and technical personnel. Combat personnel, like Marines and ODSTs, are counted separately. The max number of personnel a single frigate is capable of housing numbers at least within the thousands.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 220''</ref> Since many frigates have been seen in ground support roles, it is likely that the complement of Marine and ODST personnel on board is higher in percentage than other ships that are more dedicated to space combat. | ||
In [[2552]] [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] was supposedly able to singlehandedly control the frigate {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} to aid [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] on the [[Installation 08|newly rebuilt Halo]], though an auto-pilot function was available with the use of the ship's onboard [[Navigation computer|navigational computer]]. An [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] can monitor and regulate all critical functions without human intervention. | In [[2552]] [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] was supposedly able to singlehandedly control the frigate {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} to aid [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] on the [[Installation 08|newly rebuilt Halo]], though an auto-pilot function was available with the use of the ship's onboard [[Navigation computer|navigational computer]].
