UNSC carrier
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings Template:Ship The UNSC Carrier is a classification of warships within the UNSC Fleet.
Armory
UNSC Carriers are armed with Archer Missiles and most likely have contingents of Longsword Interceptors and Shortsword bombers; in fitting with their combat role.
Power
Based on evidence, it appears that UNSC Carriers are rarer than Marathon-class Cruisers, which instigates doubt, that the Marathon classification is truly the most powerful warship classification in the UNSC Navy. This is additionally reinforced by the fact, that UNSC Battle Group Stalingrad had a UNSC Carrier (the UNSC Stalingrad) as its flagship even when there was a Marathon-class Cruiser as well within the Battlegroup. However Modern battle groups often have both carriers and cruisers, and even though carriers are less powerful in direct combat they are often chosen as the flag ship.
Size
If estimations and theories are accurate, then these ships may be 1.5 kilometers long; near to the length of a Covenant CCS-class Battlecruiser. In Halo: Ghosts Of Onyx, pg. 270, it is mentioned that a Carrier is less than 3km long.
