Talk:UNSC Forward Unto Dawn
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The crew
So is there any indication as to what happened to the crew of the ship at the end of Halo 3? It seems as if every human who came with the ship except the Master Chief died, but unless Johnson knew how to fly it, or Miranda Keyes parked it where it was at the end of the game, it wouldn't make sense that it just ended up there. The Flood certainly didn't fly it to that spot. If they had, the Gravemind or whatever would have just left. -Kongurous 04:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Johnson probably had the entire crew relocated to Shadow of Intent, just incase Chiefs plan didnt work and they couldnt get off with Dawn. Kap2310 19:42, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Johnson parked the ship there. I'm positive. In the cutscene, between the level the Covenant and Halo, when the Pelican's flying towards the new installation, Cortana asks if he has the frigate to which Johnson replies, quote: "I'll try and land her as close to the control room as I can." unquote. ;-) Hairy Ruben 18:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
In the production spec it says known crew members Fleet Admiral Sir Terrence Hood Commander Miranda Keyes shouldn't some one add john and sgt johnson Spartan 688 17:32, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Name
This is not the ship's whole name. There is at least one word before "Unto Dawn" but I'm having trouble reading it. --ED(talk)(gaming) 19:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Plus, in the level, The Storm (Level), Lord Hood says, "Kilo 23, this is Forward Unto Dawn..." and a bunch of other crud we don't really care about. --Blemo 23

Some things not quite right.
Took some time to look at the in-game model of the Forward Unto Dawn, and noted that it has 50 hatches with radiations symbols on them. I'm willing to bet that these are Archer Pod's, but we don't really have any way of knowing.
In addition to that, "FFG" in modern navies, designates a guided missile frigate. Oh and the description for the battle over the portal is wrong. Not only were there more ships in that location than described, but the three frigates did not fire on any of the Covenant ships - they all specifically targeted Truth in the keyship to try and prevent him from activating the rings. If you watch the cutscene you will notice that none of the Covenant ships are ever damaged in any way. The only explosions are around Truth's keyship.
- Well yeah, the radiation hatches are all Archer missile pods. and the ships attacking were all targeting the keyship because they thought it was going to activate the Halos. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 19:34, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Forward Unto Dawn
At the end of level 5 in halo 3 after beating the flood you can see Forward Unto Dawn in the Covenant Assault Carrier hanger bay were you see the elites and ODSTs sitting around. In the back of them is the frigate and when lord Hood leaves in a Pelican you can see the frigate in the upper left hand corner
I'm Confused
When it list's all those vehicles under "Cargo capacity", does it mean it can hold all those vehicles at the same time? Because, when the Dawn drops off the hogs and scorpians, it looks like the cargo hold can't hold too much more. It just doesn't seem right. - SuperNerd1138 , 23 Febuary 2008 (UTC)
This is ironic
The name is kinda funny because its the FORWARD part of the Dawn the one that reached Earth, the one that went UNTO Earth's DAWN. May not makes much sense, but it may be meaning something
