I have changed "is able to hold its own against smaller Covenant capital ships..." to just Covenant warships because I wouldn't say a Corvette is a capital ship.

Armaments

If you look closely at the model of the Heavy Frigate you can see Archer Missile Pods similar to these, I think we should add these to the list of armaments despite the fact that we have not seen them in action.--Kaphraxus 18:56, January 7, 2011 (EST)

I am going to go ahead and add Archer Missiles to the armaments section.--Kaphraxus 21:45, October 26, 2012 (EST)

UNSC Paris

Wonder if they intended the frigate UNSC Paris to be the ship that named the class. It's obviously possible the original Paris was already decommissioned and the name was given to a ship of another class, but it certainly seems very convenient to be a coincidence. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 15:18, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

Considering the Paris-class was first seen in 2552, it's very likely that the Frigate Paris assigned to the Home Fleet is the leadship of the class. User:CommanderTony/Sig
By "leadship", I presume you actually mean flagship, right? 'Cause technically the term "leadship" isn't actually a word...or you could also just mean the prototype, which would work a lot better than either previous words. Xamikaze330 00:30, 10 July 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330

Actually Lead Ship is the correct term when referring to the first vessel of a class. A flagship on the other hand is a vessel used by the Senior Officer Commanding of a group of ships and has nothing to do with vessel classification. As to whether the mention of the UNSC Paris in Ghosts of Onyx was deliberate or just happy coincidence is uncertain. --Precipice66 17:43, 24 October 2011 (EDT)

Pelicans?

When and where was it confirmed that this class could carry pelicans, or for that matter, any single ships at all? I've never seen any launched from it in the campaign of Reach, so unless it states otherwise in the Visual Guide, that info should be removed. pestilence Phil, pestilence! 20:23, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

Proper capitalization

Being the nit-picker I am, I think it's kind of out of the ordinary for the title to be lower case after Paris-class. Just thought I'd point that out and suggest the proper capitalization of the title. :P Tetrapex 06:07, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Not really. We use the "class name capitalised, all else lower case" naming system for all our ship class articles.--The All-knowing Sith'ari 07:17, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
"Paris-class heavy frigate" is capitalized correctly. In reality, only the proper name in a ship's class is capitalized. The description - in this case, "heavy frigate" - is written in lower case. For example, it is "Iroquois-class destroyer", not "Iroquois-class Destroyer". --Courage never dies. 23:30, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

# of Point Defense Guns

It says 12 on the page, but there are 20 in the images. Hyper Zergling 01:40, 4 October 2011 (EDT)

I can see only six on one side, so multiply that by two, we should get twelve. Where are the other four? TheGutsyChipmunk 18:15, 24 October 2011 (EDT)
I know it has the twelve on it's port and starboard "wings". But I don't know about the other four, but I could swear that, flying by the Savannah in "Long Night" that it had a pair of tail guns: one dorsal, one ventral, situated between the engines. --WTRiker 13:39, 29 October 2011 (EDT)
