'''''Black Cat''-class Subprowlers''' are a classification of small exfiltration ships within the [[UNSC]]. Designated as "sub-prowlers," they have extremely limited capabilities and are used mostly as exfiltration craft to escape combat situations with stealth and ease. The ships have [[Slipspace]] capacitors but only enough charge to use them for about four hours. Black Cats are routinely used on high-risk ops so that UNSC Special Forces can retreat quickly and easily. Each sub-prowler can hold approximately 38 [[SPARTAN-III]]s. | |||
It appears that they replaced the {{Class|Calypso|Exfiltration Craft}}.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 86</ref> | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*This may have been inspired by WW2's PBY Black Cat Catalinas, which flew missions destroying enemy ships or rescuing survivors of convoys which had been attacked by Japanese forces. | |||
*Eight such craft were inserted for the [[Spartan-III]]s during [[Operation: TORPEDO]], but only one was used because only two Spartans survived the engagement. | |||
*The ship can only hold a charge for a limited amount of time, meaning that if a mission is not completed in time, ground forces would be trapped in hostile territory. | |||
*The ''Black Cat'' classification is believed to be smaller than the standard [[UNSC Prowler]]. | |||
