'''Capital ships''' are a classification of spacecraft, generally encompassing the most important and largest [[warship]]s with the heaviest firepower and armor. There are usually no formal criteria for the classification, other than the fact that these ships tend to be heavily armed and armored. A capital ship is generally a leading or primary ship in a [[fleet]], [[battle group]], or strike force. Among the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and the [[Covenant]] capital ships primarily include [[battleship]]s, [[carrier]]s and [[cruiser]]s. | {{Quote|Our fighters are mopping up the last of their recon picket now, nothing serious. But I've isolated approach signatures from multiple CCS-class battle groups, make it three capital ships per group. And in about 90 seconds they'll be all over us.|Cortana}} | ||
