The '''''Diligence''-class light destroyer''' was a class of [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] used by the [[CMA Navy]] throughout the 25th century.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFClarity}}


The '''''Dilligence''-class destroyer''' was a class of [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] in service with the [[UNSC Navy]] and the [[Colonial Military Administration]].<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-clarity-grace '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Clarity & Grace '']</ref>
==Overview==
===Design details===
The ''Diligence''-class is an older classification of warship entered into service during the 25th century, originally classified as a [[cruiser]]. During the era in which it was designed, [[human starship]]s had much less firepower than their successors, resulting in a ship that is-by modern standards-substantially underarmed. As such, it was reclassified as a [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] later in its life to better reflect the evolving standard of ship construction.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}


==Operational history==
===Armaments===
Some ''Dilligence ''-class destroyers were operated by the [[Colonial Military Administration]].
The ''Diligence'' was introduced in the 25th century prior to the onset of the [[Insurrection]]. As such, it predates the introduction of the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] (MAC) as a standard warship armament, and thus instead relies on a variety of [[naval autocannon]]s and missiles for its primary armaments. The primary armament of the ship is a single [[Spitfire naval coilgun battery|Mark 33 Spitfire]] naval autocannon, supplemented by six [[Sentry autocannon|M60 Sentry]] autocannons. Additionally, the ship is outfitted with forty [[Ares missile|M35 Ares missile]] launchers, and for point-defence carries ten [[M710 Bulwark point defense gun]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}


During or after [[2540]], a ''Dilligence''-class destroyer, the {{UNSCShip|Kronstadt}}, deployed a squad of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] and a [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II commando]], [[Cal-141]], via [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]] to the [[Covenant]]-occupied planet [[Heian]]. The commando team infiltrated a former alien settlement, where they engaged several [[Unggoy]] and a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Unidentified Jiralhanae chieftain (Heian)|chieftain]] before assassinating a Covenant [[Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|Prophet]]. After the mission, which resulted in the deaths of the Spartan and [[Checkman|one ODST]], the vessel retrieved the survivors.<ref>'''Halo Legends''', ''The Babysitter''</ref>
Beginning in [[2496]], the ''Diligence''-class began a series of refits that resulted in ships of the class being retrofitted with two "outrigger" MACs to help the ship stay competitive with more modern destroyer designs, such as the {{Class|Hillsborough|heavy destroyer}} introduced only three years later in [[2499]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Operational history==
The ''Diligence''-class light destroyer entered service within the [[CMA Navy]] in [[2433]]. Originally classified as a cruiser, the ''Diligence''-class was eventually reclassified as a destroyer as ships grew in firepower and mass. Starting in [[2496]], the class was fitted with two powerful outrigger [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] systems—one on each side of its main fuselage.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Some ''Diligence''-class destroyers were operated by the [[Colonial Military Authority]] as peacekeeping ships,{{Ref/Reuse|CFClarity}}, seeing active use within the CMA Navy for over a century.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} By [[2525]], the class had been retired for decades. However, with the dawn of the [[Human-Covenant War]], some were brought back into service with the [[UNSC Navy]] and were retrofitted for [[Space warfare|combat]] against the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFClarity}}


In [[2544]],{{Ref/Site|Id=CFShocks|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-system-shocks|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - System Shocks|D=30|M=06|Y=2023}} a ''Diligence''-class destroyer, the {{UNSCShip|Kronstadt}}, deployed a squad of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] and a [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II commando]], [[Cal-141]], via [[M8900 drop pod|M8900 SOEIV]] to the Covenant-occupied planet [[Heian]]. The commando team infiltrated a former alien settlement, where they engaged several [[Unggoy]] and a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Unidentified Jiralhanae chieftain (Heian)|chieftain]] before assassinating a Covenant [[Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|Prophet]]. After the mission, which resulted in the deaths of the Spartan and [[Checkman|one ODST]], the vessel retrieved the survivors.{{Ref/Reuse|Babysitter}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFClarity}}
