The Man O' War is a class of Sangheili warship used prior to the War of Beginnings and after the Human-Covenant War.[2][3] In 2558, some of these ships were present during the Battle of Kamchatka,[4] the Raid on UNSC Argent Moon, and the Battle of Sunaion
Created by the Sangheili through Forerunner technology prior to the War of Beginnings, the Man O' War is considered to represent the pinnacle of Sangheili warship design, though the class has never been to equal to Covenant warship designs.[1]
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.
