The ''Anlace''-class' design is considered somewhat novel for the [[UNSC Navy]], with a lifting body hull and maneuvering systems well adapted for atmospheric operations.{{Ref/Reuse|CFCalm}} The ''Anlace''-class frigate is the smallest [[frigate]] currently in service with the UNSC Navy, with a length of 372 meters (1,220 feet).{{Ref/Reuse|osfm}} | The ''Anlace''-class' design is considered somewhat novel for the [[UNSC Navy]], with a lifting body hull and maneuvering systems well adapted for atmospheric operations.{{Ref/Reuse|CFCalm}} The ''Anlace''-class frigate is the smallest [[frigate]] currently in service with the UNSC Navy, with a length of 372 meters (1,220 feet).{{Ref/Reuse|osfm}} | ||
Outside of physical combat, the ''Anlace'' is employed in an electronic warfare (EW) role. When employed in pairs, two ''Anlace''-class frigates are capable of projecting a jamming blanket around an entire planet, preventing communications within this zone. The frigates are also equipped with high-definition sensors, which are able to accurately detect any object larger than a [[Warthog]] within ten light-minutes of their location.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR13|HSoR|Chapter=13}} | |||

Offensively, the ''Anlace''-class differs significantly from other contemporary frigate classes such as the {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}. Unlike such models, the Anlace lacks a large spinal mount for a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]<ref>[[Archive:Spartan Games - Kenneth Peters interview]]</ref> and [[missile]] pods in the most common configuration. Instead, it relies on [[directed energy weapon]]s for sustained combat operations between resupply.{{Ref/Reuse|CFCalm}} Nevertheless, a modest MAC is built atop the frigate, mounted further back than on other models.<ref name="Loftus1"/> | Offensively, the ''Anlace''-class differs significantly from other contemporary frigate classes such as the {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}.
