A '''hull classification symbol''' is assigned to each and every ship of the [[UNSC Navy]].

The symbol is based on the [[Wikipedia:Hull classification symbol|hull classification symbol]] system used by the United States Navy in the 20th and 21st centuries with a few differences. The symbols have a few things in common: a symbol beginning with "FF" generally denotes a frigate, "DD" a destroyer, "CL" or "CA" 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. | The symbol is based on the [[Wikipedia:Hull classification symbol|hull classification symbol]] system used by the United States Navy in the 20th and 21st centuries with a few differences.
