The Man O' War is a class of Sangheili warship used after the Human-Covenant War.[1][2] In 2558, some of these ships were present during the Battle of Kamchatka.[3] Spartan-IVs aboard the UNSC Infinity trained in a simulation of War Games set during the Battle of Installation 04, but with the ships from the Fleet of Particular Justice replaced by Sangheili Man O' Wars and blockade runners.[4]
Trivia
The man-of-war was a powerful ship of the line used by European navies from the 16th to the 19th century, armed with up to 124 guns. This in turn inspired the name for the Portuguese man o' war, an extremely venomous organism related to jellyfish. It is likely from one, or both, of these that the Sangheili ship class takes its name.
