Hull classification symbol: Difference between revisions

{{Era|UNSC|HCW|Post}}

A '''hull classification symbol''', also known as a '''hull code''',<ref name="warfleet47">''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', p. 46-47</ref> is assigned to each and every ship of the [[UNSC Navy]]. Different types and sizes of ship have different classification symbols.<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-have-s-moa '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Have S'moa'']</ref> The hull code is composed of a symbol and a hull number. The hull numbers are usually assigned to each ship consecutively, though number sequences may be skipped for a variety of reasons (planned ships that were never commissioned or bureaucratic maneuvering, for example) and older numbers may be reused for new ships in order to "inherit" the identity of a particular storied vessel.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial'']</ref>
