The Spitfire naval coilgun battery is a ship-to-ship weapon utilised by the UNSC Navy during and after the Human-Covenant War.

Models

Mark 33 Spitfire

After refit, the UNSC Pillar of Autumn mounted eight Mark 33 Spitfires all around its superstructure.^[1]

Mark 40 Spitfire

The Mark 40 Spitfire is a refinement of the older Mark 33, featuring a higher muzzle velocity, improved tracking speed, and better accuracy than its predecessors. The gun mount is also several tons lighter thanks to it being armoured with a new formulation of Titanium-A armor while still maintaining the same level of protection. The Autumn-class heavy cruiser sports four of these coilgun batteries to complement its MAC.^[2]
