| {{Ratings}}
| |
| The '''Hull Classification Symbol''' is placed on each and every [[UNSC]] ship. Different types and sizes of ship have different classification symbols. Placed after the symbol is a number. Each ship of that class gets a different number. This way, the Hull Classification Symbol is a sort of numerical identification system for ships, other than their names.
| |
| | |
| The symbol based on the [[Wikipedia:Hull classification symbol|hull classification symbol]] system used by the United States Navy in the 20th and 21st centuries with few differences. The symbols have a few things in common, a symbol beginning with "FF" generally denotes a Frigate, "DD" a Destroyer, "CC" a Cruiser, "CV" a Carrier, and "BB" a Battleship. The rest of the letters vary depending on the type of vessel. There can be dozens of types of each class of vessel.
| |
| | |
| Hull classification symbols are also extended to Covenant ships; as a way of classifying them.
