The '''''Punic''-class supercarrier''' is a classification of capital warship built by [[SinoViet Heavy Machinery]] for use by the [[CMA Navy]] and later, the [[UNSC Navy]].{{Ref/Reuse|spartan games}} There were only a few constructed, among them the most notable vessel was {{UNSCShip|Trafalgar}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=FS18|HFS|Chapter=18}} | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Design details=== | |||
The supercarrier was used for direct confrontation with [[Covenant]] [[capital ship]]s, and was one of the few UNSC ships effective in this role. The armaments and armor of a ''Punic''-class supercarrier dwarf those of any other carrier in service with the UNSC Navy.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} The ''Punic'' class is capable of mounting [[frigate]]s or [[destroyer]]s in its ventral sub-vessel [[hangar bay]]s.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFInfinity|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-infinity-beyond|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Infinity & Beyond|D=30|M=07|Y=2021}} The ''Punic'' class is one of the largest known vessels in human history, whose total length and tonnage is to date known to be superseded only by the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. | |||
The ''''' | ===Armaments=== | ||
The ''Punic''{{'}}s armaments are broadly similar to those used on the successor {{Class|Infinity|supercarrier|}}. Its primary armament is a pair of a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|CR-01D Series 6 Magnetic Accelerator Cannons]], with a pair of secondary [[Mark 15 Breakwater naval coilgun]]s alongside them. The ship has a massive missile complement, with one hundred [[Archer missile|M42 Archer missile]] pods, twenty [[Howler missile|M96 Howler missile]] pods, and a [[Point-defense gun|point-defence]] network consisting of 80 [[M85 Scythe]] and 100 [[M965 Fortress point defense network|M965 Fortress]] guns.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||

The ''Punic''-class supercarrier was commissioned towards the final years of the 25th century to aid the [[Unified Earth Government]] in combating the spreading [[Insurrection]]. Officially designated Space Control Vehicles, these carriers transported and sustained entire [[Colonial Military Authority]] expeditionary and interdiction campaigns throughout the more remote [[Outer Colonies]] for months at a time, as they eliminated [[insurrectionist]]s and [[Terrorism|terrorists]] before their views could fester and spread. However, when the [[Human-Covenant War]] began, all ''Punic''-class supercarriers were utilized to protect [[human colonies]] from the new [[Covenant]] threat.{{Ref/Reuse|spartan games}} | The ''Punic''-class supercarrier was commissioned towards the final years of the 25th century to aid the [[Unified Earth Government]] in combating the spreading [[Insurrection]].

''Punic''-class supercarriers have participated in numerous campaigns and holding actions throughout the Human-Covenant War, including the [[UNSC]]'s last stand above [[Estuary]] and as base stations for the [[Scyllion Warehouse District riot|decisive counterinsurgency]] and [[Battle of Charybdis IX|evacuation operations]] on [[Charybdis IX]] in [[2535]]. However, despite the benefits of the powerful ships, the destruction of each supercarrier led to the loss of skilled crews and materiel that slowly decreased the [[UNSC Navy]]'s overall effectiveness. By [[2552]], the final year of the Covenant War, only a handful of ''Punic''-class supercarriers remained spaceworthy, including {{UNSCShip|Trafalgar}}, which was stationed over [[Reach]] as the [[flagship]] of the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]].{{Ref/Reuse|spartan games}} The ''Trafalgar'' itself was lost in combat against the Covenant during the [[Fall of Reach]], further securing the Covenant's eventual victory in the engagement. | ''Punic''-class supercarriers have participated in numerous campaigns and holding actions throughout the Human-Covenant War, including the [[UNSC]]'s last stand above [[Estuary]] and as base stations for the [[Scyllion Warehouse District riot|decisive counterinsurgency]] and [[Battle of Charybdis IX|evacuation operations]] on [[Charybdis IX]] in [[2535]].
