 Like other [[human]] ships, the UNSC frigate is powered by thermonuclear fusion reactors which use deuterium (a stable hydrogen isotope) as fuel. The engines almost certainly use the energy obtained from this process to heat some form of reaction propellant which is expelled out of rear-facing exhausts to generate thrust. There are four exhausts visible on frigates; two large and two small. In addition, the frigate has two sets of forward maneuvering thrusters near the front.<ref name="art"/>
-UNSC frigates are capable of hovering in an atmosphere and even landing. This is likely accomplished through the use of [[Anti-gravity technology|anti-gravity generators]], although the technology involved has never been elaborated upon. When docked, frigates are able to make use of [[Class-L flash-dock]]s while landed on a planet.<ref>[[Data Drop|Data Drop #6]]</ref>
+UNSC frigates are capable of hovering in an atmosphere and even landing. This is likely accomplished through the use of [[Anti-gravity technology|anti-gravity generators]], although the technology involved has never been elaborated upon. Frigates are able to perform a [[Class-L flash-dock]], a landing procedure used when time is of the essence which requires precise maneuvering control.<ref>[[Data Drop|Data Drop #6]]</ref>
 For interstellar voyages, the frigate carries a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]].
