Based on evidence, it appears that UNSC Carriers are rarer than [[Marathon-class Cruiser|''Marathon''-class Cruiser]]s, which instigates doubt that the ''Marathon'' classification is truly the most powerful warship classification in the UNSC Navy. This is additionally reinforced by the fact that UNSC [[Battle Group Stalingrad|Battle Group ''Stalingrad'']] had a UNSC Carrier (the {{UNSCShip|Stalingrad}}) as its flagship even when there was a ''Marathon''-class Cruiser as well within the battlegroup. However, modern battle groups often have both carriers and cruisers, and even though carriers are less powerful in direct combat they are often chosen as the flag ship.

The UNSC Carrier is a classification of warships within the UNSC Fleet.

Armory

UNSC Carriers are armed with Archer Missiles and most likely have contingents of Longsword interceptors and Shortsword bombers, in fitting with their combat role.

Size

If estimations and theories are accurate, these ships may be 1.5 kilometers long; nearly the length of a Covenant CCS-class Battlecruiser. In Halo: Ghosts Of Onyx, pg. 270, it is mentioned that a Carrier is less than 3km long.
