The UNSC Musashi was a UNSC Carrier.
Background
The Musashi was one of the hundreds of ships that was present at the Battle of Reach. The cruiser was destroyed while moving to cover the Orbital Defense Platforms, when an Energy Projector from a Covenant Assault Carrier severed the Musashi amidships. The aft section's engines, were still burning even after it was severed from the rest of the ship.[2].
Trivia
- The ship shares its name with the Japanese battleship from the Second World War, holding the title of being one of the largest battleships on the Pacific front, and at the time, along with its sister ship Yamato, held the record for largest gun ever mounted on a battleship. The Musashi was eventually sunk by the fighters and ships of the American task force during the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
