Image of Destroyer Exists!
There is an image of the fore and aft sections of the UNSC Heracles in the Halo Wars Genesis graphic novel/comic book. I don't have access to a scanner but I will attempt to get one and upload the image asap. Unless someone can do it sooner. The picture of the fore section is where the Heracles is exiting the slipstream and the aft picture is when it's reentering after the Vostok and Arabia were destroyed.

Ships of the Line
Change this section to a list to match the frigate article. Put the template on articles for the individual ships. Isidis 128 06:55, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Where does it say Destroyers have two MAC's?

- It says in Halo: the fall of reach, you can look at thoerys of where MAC canons might be on MAC and its talk page --Climax Viod 18:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Fall of Reach page 139:
What those critics forgot that a UNSC Destoyer sported 2 MAC guns, 26 oversized Archer missile pods and 3 nuclear warheads. Only seven meters longer than a frigate. No single ship fighters. Almost as heavy than 2 frigates combined mass. --Will 11:55, 06 January 2007 (UTC)

Picture is NOT a destroyer
In The Fall of Reach, Captain Keyes' destroyer Iroqois uses both of its MAC's against two Covenant Frigates and a Destroyer. but the image on the the article page is a cruiser, not a destroyer, and is in the wrong place entirely. the destroyers, from their description, seem to be merely heavier-armed friagtes. perhaps a picture of one of them should suffice? —This unsigned comment was made by 125.238.88.152 (talk • contribs).

- The image is a destroyer from a Cairo Station viewport. It must be, b/c it is approx. the same size as the frigates beside it, and they're only 7 meters different...too little to see from the distance that they're streaming by at.

- I don't think we should keep this Lego "destroyer" as the pic for this article.
- No offense and with all do respect that is a marathon class cruiser. If not marathon possibly another halcyon. Mostly marathon class though. I forgot which one but I think one of the books stated that the UNSC destroyer was very similar to the frigate except that the armor is thicker. In Halo Ghost of Onyx it states that the In Amber Clad was a destroyer. If only I remembered which books and what pages contained the proof.--Halo3Halo3
- the pic I have was nearly the identical length as a destroyer, which fits in with the fact that the destroyer is only 7 meters longer. Thaks, H3. Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 23:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- That picture blaitently a Cruiser, its to big and the ship in the opening scene is most likey a cruiser, i believe i know which one's are destroyers but my picture is in bmp ill send it to you Relentless if i have your MSN and we can debate if you want. --Climax Viod 18:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

This Image
The image to the left appears to be In Amber Clad which is a Frigate not a destroyer -- Esemono 07:59, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Note the In Amber Clad may not be a frigate see frigate Discussion page for more details
ill post a new one
Even Though
Like I said the frigate is similar in ship, texture, and appearence except that it is 7 meters longer. On close inspection like you said Will the destroyer is alot different when it comes to weaponry.--Halo3Halo3
a image please!!!
which user is going to put a image of this ships -- User:24.202.100.43 2 February 2007
- There is no image -- Esemono 07:59, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
well, there is now. it can be found in the Halo Wars: Genesis graphic novel. however, i do not have a method to take a scan of the ship. so can someone do this as it is the first canon appearance?
date used
they have been used since before operation trebuchet. at the beginning of fall of reach, halsey tells keyes that the eridanus rebels had managed to take out 4 destroyers. CaptJim 01:44, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Picture
is that an actual render of a UNSC destroyer? SILENT ONE 20:38, 12 Oct 2008 (UTC)
- It's a fan-made version, and has been removed as such. -- Councillor Specops306 - Kora 'Morhek 06:25, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
From Halo: Black Spartan Is it a Destroyer ?
What happened to the novel picture we had a few days ago? If this is confirmed to be a Destroyer, then we should keep it.71.192.134.75 01:31, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Ugghh! The capital ships of the Halo universe are sickeningly undeveloped. No lousy pictures!Fire Eater 21:17, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Generic Destroyer Image
I had an image... of a generic UNSC Destroyer which was undone by someone, so I came here.
Here is the image, shouldn't it be included in the page, because the image of the Heracles exiting Slipspace is too vague?
