Do we want to use the length offered in the (questionable) Halo Encyclopedia on this one? First violation is the ''Point of No Return'' purported to be a cruiser, yet is the length of a UNSC destroyer. The ''Halcyon''-class was the smallest ship class to be designated a cruiser, therefore all other cruisers are larger. Second violation is the 485m length given in the Halo Encyclopedia has an erroneous conversion to 160ft which is incorrect. But then, which is the ship intended to be in the Encyclopedia? The 485m length or the 160ft length? I think in this case it's better to chalk the Encyclopedia entry up to yet one more mistake and remove the length reference here in this article.

:General practice has been to use the only length number given if it exists. I say we should keep the number on the page, but add a note pointing out that this contradicts the Halcyon being the smallest.

This isn't a UNSC Prowler? --Omrifere 00:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
No it is not. A UNSC Prowler is much smaller than a Destroyer. The exsictance of this type of ship is undeniable. Please read Ghosts of Onyx. --Will 20:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- yes. Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 17:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Possibility of Falsehood
Some of the specs posted in the ship's chart maybe incorrect. I'm openly admitting this, becuase since it is a Prowler-class i used some info from normal UNSC Prowlers. Althought this is just a possiblty cause i assumed things, but everything else is correct. Just there may be some flasehoods in the chart. --User:Donut THX 1138 File:Donut 7.JPG 01:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I also have a problem with "Only some twenty officers in the entire galaxy had ever seen the ship." That line only applies to the high security Faraday Cage/conference room on board the Point of No Return and not the actual ship itself. (Just think about it. A cruiser which would need to be crewed by less than 20 people. Virtually impossible) As such I shall be amending this article accordingly. -- TheObviousOne 00:49, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, how do we know it is crewed by 90 men? Maybe I am missing something, but I don't recall that. Darkfire27983 18:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC) Actually, a ships is mainly run by crewman. The only officers aboard a ship are those in the bridge and a select few others. The Pillar of Autumn, for example, had a total of six or so officers.
Ship Length?
Do we want to use the length offered in the (questionable) Halo Encyclopedia on this one? First violation is the Point of No Return purported to be a cruiser, yet is the length of a UNSC destroyer. The Halcyon-class was the smallest ship class to be designated a cruiser, therefore all other cruisers are larger. Second violation is the 485m length given in the Halo Encyclopedia has an erroneous conversion to 160ft which is incorrect. But then, which is the ship intended to be in the Encyclopedia? The 485m length or the 160ft length? I think in this case it's better to chalk the Encyclopedia entry up to yet one more mistake and remove the length reference here in this article.

- General practice has been to use the only length number given if it exists. I say we should keep the number on the page, but add a note pointing out that this contradicts the Halcyon being the smallest. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 00:42, 30 June 2013 (EDT)
