While the carrier's full and precise armaments list is unknown, their weapons complement is considered more than a match for a [[UNSC frigate]] of the {{Class|Mulsanne|light frigate}}. These weapons are extremely destructive, and cannot be used effectively in close-air support of ground forces for fear of massive collateral damage.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLegendary}} | While the carrier's full and precise armaments list is unknown, their weapons complement is considered more than a match for a [[UNSC frigate]] of the {{Class|Mulsanne|light frigate}}.

Multiple carriers of this class were used by the [[Covenant]] in [[2552]], during the final months of the [[Human-Covenant War]].
