'''Carl "Buster" Patterson''' was an [[admiral]] of the [[UNSC Navy]]. He was the commanding officer of {{UNSCShip|Stalingrad}} and, by extension, [[Battlegroup Stalingrad|Battlegroup ''Stalingrad'']]. Patterson was cunning, though he was very straightforward, favoring frontal assaults in combat.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page ???''</ref>

==Service==

===Battle of Onyx===

{{Main|Battle of Onyx}}

Patterson and his battlegroup were deployed to [[Onyx]] to reinforce the UNSC presence on the planet's surface. Arriving on November 3rd, 2552, Patterson ordered his battlegroup to attack before receiving a full scan of the planet from the {{UNSCShip|Dusk}}. Two [[Covenant destroyer]]s were destroyed before twenty additional enemy warships revealed themselves from the other side of the planet. At the cost of four of his ships, Patterson was able to escape.

He set up an ambush for the Covenant ships behind the planet's moon when [[Commander]] [[Richard Lash]] set up a field of [[HORNET Mine]]s in space, which succeeded in destroying all but two of the ships. Patterson again ordered a forward charge to wipe out the remaining ones. Thirty-two more Covenant ships emerged from [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]] around Patterson's ships in mid-charge, destroying the human fleet and killing the admiral in the process.
