Since the ships are technically ''Prowler''-class Corvettes, should the article be renamed as such? --'''[[UserWiki:Specops306|<font color=purple>Specops306</font>]]''', '''''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Kora</font>]] [[Special:Editcount/Specops306|<font color=purple>'Morhek</font>]]''''' 06:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Do they actually have active camouflage? I thought that would be the Covenants during the Great War? Or did they convert it to become theirs just as they did with the MJOLNIR armour? 08:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

:No, Prowlers use photoreactive panels. Covenant systems use a completely different and far more effective system. --'''[[UserWiki:Specops306|<font color=purple>Specops306</font>]]''', '''''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Kora</font>]] [[Special:Editcount/Specops306|<font color=purple>'Morhek</font>]]''''' 04:11, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

They might be a unsc prowler in Halo Wars: Genesis which is the UNSC Last Gleaming and it looks like a Stealth design so it might be one.

:How do we know what a "stealth" design looks like? Its designed for stealth, so it wouldn't be designed to "look" like anything other than space. From all we can see, its just an angular wedge-shaped ship. Neither is that ship confirmed to even by the ''Last Gleaming''. --<b>[[CoH|<font color=purple>Councillor</font>]]</b> <b>[[User:Specops306|<font color=blue> Specops</font>]][[UserWiki:Specops306|<font color=blue>306</font>]] - <i>[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=purple>Qur'a</font>]] [[w:c:halofanon:Operation:_HOT_GATES|<font color=purple>'Morhek</font>]]</i></b> 09:52, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

There is a prowler jumping out of slipspace on page 9, in fact on the same page Cole states two panels later "I don't trust a ''prowler'' commander-too slick." I'll upload it shortly. - [[User talk:Lord Hyren|Lord Hyren]] 02:45, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

I've noticed a few times now that the ''Wink of an Eye'' is assumed to have an experimental active camo system, but it wasn't the only prowler with a cloaking device identified as "active camouflage". The cloak of the UNSC ''Dusk'' is also called active camouflage on page 291 of ''Ghosts of Onyx''. Furthermore, "[[Wikipedia:Active camouflage|active camouflage]]" doesn't necessarily refer to the Covenant technology only. The UNSC's [[Camouflage cloak|attempts]] at [[Photoreactive panel|active camouflage]] are more crude, but the term applies to them nonetheless. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 05:50, 21 May 2011 (EDT)

== Length ==
162 meters can't be right. Compared to the Pelican it launches, it needs to be about twice that size.
== Post war camouflage  ==
The unsc Aladdin seems to have a similar camo system as the ONI-PRO one but it does not decloak with a bubble(or cloak for that matter).  Halo 4 The Essential Visual guide says that thanks to stealing of covenant technology that the post wars prowlers have got much more efficient camoflague.  I am confused was the ONI-PRO version purely human technology with no outside infulence while the post war stuff is based on active camouflage systems of the covenant because the covenant dont cloak with bubbles shields where as thats more Human technology becuase the bubble shields are human technology as you saw them well established by 2544.  Its not hard to think that the unsc would have been doing some of their own experimentation with their own technology without having to go to covenant sources.  just my theory [[User:Spartan Matt|Spartan Matt]] ([[User talk:Spartan Matt|talk]]) 23:42, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
:When it says "prior to the war" it's referring to prowlers around before contact with the Covenant in 2525. Prowlers would have had stealth systems to help prevent detection but not the type of true invisibility afforded by Covenant systems. Whether it's the bubble or just the active camo 'skin' seen in Spartan Ops, that's much better than what prowlers utilized before when Insurrectionists were the main 'bad guys'. I wouldn't equate the term "active camouflage" with "invisibility" necessarily. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 06:49, 23 October 2013 (EDT)
== Pulse Lasers on Prowlers ==
There is a pulse laser type weapon used by prowler circumference in 2531 which isnt mentioned what type it is.  I wonder what the class of circumference is and the type it is.  Pulse lasers were also used I think on oni prowler in the package.  As I am terrible at writing encyclipedia type articles or sentences I am just wondering if someone wants to add this information to the prowler page and even to the pulse laser turret section {{Unsigned|Spartan Matt}}
:The weapon you refer to is the [[XEV9-Matos nonlinear pulse cannon]]. It is not a pulse laser turret. This has been clarified several times.[[User:BaconShelf|<span style="color:green;">BaconShelf</span>]] <span style="font-size:90%">([[User:BaconShelf|talk]])</span> 04:24, August 26, 2022 (EDT)
Yes I am well aware of that.  But on page 50 of the ghost of onyx it's says that the circumference used a pulse laser to destroy a communication satellite.  That must be some kind of unidentified pulse laser weapon and it was in the year 2531
