The ''Poseidon'' is unusual for a [[UNSC starship]] in that it does not have a primary [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] weapon system; instead, the carrier's heaviest weaponry consists of two [[Mark 2551 Onager]] turrets and two [[Archer missile|M42 Archer missile]] pods. The carrier's weapons complement is instead more focused on defensive measures, boasting twenty [[M870 Rampart point defense gun]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | The ''Poseidon'' is unusual for a [[UNSC starship]] in that it does not have a primary [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] weapon system; instead, the carrier's heaviest weaponry consists of two [[Mark 2551 Onager]] turrets and two [[Archer missile|M42 Archer missile]] pods.
