+'''Capital ships''' are a classification of spacecraft. The definition of a capital ship depends on the individual faction and the ship class. As an example: the large and heavily armed [[Phoenix-class colony ship|''Phoenix''-class]] is considered a support vessel in the [[UNSC]],{{Ref/Note|According to The Essential Visual Guide (page 188), Phoenix-class ships used by the UNSC are designated as support vessels rather than colony ships.}} while the {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}}, which is nearly half its size, is considered a capital ship.<ref name="campaignguide">''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]'' - Campaign Guide, p. 26</ref>

-The '''[[Wikipedia:Capital ship|Capital Ships]]''' of a Navy are its "important" and "biggest" [[warships]]; the ones with the heaviest firepower and armor. There is usually no formal criterion for the classification, but it is a useful concept when thinking about strategy, for instance to compare relative naval strengths in a theater of operations without having to get bogged down in the details of tonnage and gun diameters. A capital ship is generally a leading or primary ship in a [[fleet]].
