::Hey, just saw this. Loftus here. It's standard form most of the world over, but relevant to us the US military follows the form that the first named ship of a new class of ship becomes the class name. When working on the ''Visual Guides'' (both of them but it wasn't apparent in the first book) it was 343 Industries' usage that they follow the same system as the US military in this regard, so the ''Halcyon''-class cruiser was named for the first ship of that class built which would've been the UNSC ''Halcyon''.

::Now, from what I'm seeing in the article linked in this discussion, there are empty pages linked to these class ships. I would agree that if there's no reason to have a page for the UNSC ''Halcyon'' or UNSC ''Valiant'', then fine, remove the links, but that does not negate that the class ships would still be the first off the line. Not a great example, but it's the same way that, say, Dr. Halsey doesn't have any official source or page number that tells you her gender is female, but it's apparent because we've seen her in the game or they use the pronoun "she" in the novels. You don't need the explicit mention to know it's still a canonical fact. So, when you see ''Charon''-class frigate, you know the first ship that looked like the ''Halo 3'' frigate was the UNSC ''Charon''. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 13:35, 29 January 2014 (EST)
