The ''Poseidon''-class is propelled in transit by a single [[fusion drive]] located on the back of the ship.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}} On at least one vessel, {{UNSCShip|Milwaukee}}, superluminal travel is accomplished via installation of an advanced [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] (SFTE), utilising technology reverse-engineered from alien [[Covenant]] and/or [[Forerunner]] technology recovered during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. This installation allows the carrier to make long-ranged [[Slipstream space|slipspace transits]] extremely rapidly - fast enough to allow the removal of the ship's [[Cryo chamber|cryogenics bays]] entirely to be replaced with simple seating.{{Ref/Reuse|LoO}} It is unknown whether the ''Milwaukee''{{'}}s advanced SFTE is representative of the ''Poseidon''-class as a whole. | The ''Poseidon''-class is propelled in transit by a single [[fusion drive]] located on the back of the ship.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}} On at least one vessel, {{UNSCShip|Milwaukee}}, superluminal travel is accomplished via installation of an advanced [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] (SFTE), utilising technology reverse-engineered from alien [[Covenant]] and/or [[Forerunner]] technology recovered during the [[Human-Covenant War]].

After the [[shield world]] of [[Sarcophagus]] was discovered and colonised, the {{UNSCShip|Milwaukee}} was repurposed to carry personnel, civilians and goods between [[Onyx]] and the colonies.{{Ref/Novel|Id=LoO|LoO|Chapter=6}} In [[2557#July|July 2557]], several ships of this class were part of [[Battle Group Dakota]] alongside a number of {{Class|Vindication|light battleship}}s and {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}s. These ships engaged the [[Forerunner]] vessel ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' during the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on Earth]].{{Ref/Reuse|midnight}} | |||
