The Punic-class supercarrier is a carrier sub-classification within the UNSC Navy. There were only a few constructed, with only one known hull being completed, the UNSC Trafalgar.[1] However, due to the size of the Navy during the Human-Covenant War, it is likely that there were a few supercarrier-type ships in service.[2]
The supercarrier was made for direct confrontation with Covenant capital ships, 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.[1] The Punic class is capable of mounting frigates or destroyers in its ventral sub-vessel hangar bays.[3]
Ships of the line
- UNSC Punic - The lead ship of the class.
