==Trivia==
*The ''Wink of an Eye'' is said to have [[active camouflage]] systems, a feat not widely used among UNSC starships, except for the [[Unnamed Stealth Spacecraft]]. The technology is most likely experimental, since the camouflage couldn't keep up with the constantly-changing atmosphere of the gas giant [[Viperidae]].
