| '''UNSC ''Providence''''' is a [[UNSC frigate|fleet escort ship]] serving in the [[UNSC Navy]], of the {{Class|Charon|light frigate|}}ification.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc09|Enc09|Page=262-263, 302-303}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=274-275, 314-315}}

| ==Production notes==
| | In the [[Halo Encyclopedia]], the ''Providence'' is shown battling three [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]]s in high atmosphere over an unknown planet, along with another Frigate. It later shows the ''Providence'' being destroyed by a group of Covenant ships in space. Due to the terrain of the planet, and the fact that these artworks have only recently surfaced, these images are speculated to be concept art of [[Halo: Reach]]. |

| |
| The ''Providence'' is a ship featured heavily in the [[:File:H3 Script FirstDraft.pdf|first-draft script]] originally written by lead designer Rob Stokes for ''Halo 3''{{'}}s campaign. In these early drafts, the ship serves in the role that {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} occupies in the final game - essentially having been renamed. The ship would have served in [[Battle Group Victory]] alongside six other vessels (for a total of [[seven]]) - others including {{UNSCShip|Madrid}}, {{UNSCShip|Ningbo}}, and {{UNSCShip|Ophir}}.
| |

| |
|
| In the script, ''Providence'' is stated to be a {{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}}. However, the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' featured in the final game was substantially redesigned and eventually designated the {{Class|Charon|light frigate}}. The ship is featured in several pieces of [[:Category:Halo 3 concept art|concept artwork]] produced during the [[Development of Halo 3|development]] of ''[[Halo 3]]''. It is one of two such ships heavily featured alongside {{UNSCShip|Andraste}}. Two pieces of art featuring the ''Providence'' in combat are featured in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' and its [[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)|2011 reprint]]. The first depicts the ship alongside another, unnamed ''Charon''-class, in [[Space warfare|naval combat]] with three {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}s over a planet while the second shows the ship in a similar combat scenario but hit by enemy weaponry and on fire.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}

| The ''Providence''{{'}}s feature in the encyclopedias, alongside its [[hull classification symbol]] having no other canon usage, indicates it may have some element of [[canon]]icity - though it has yet to be depicted in any ''Halo'' media outside of these features.
