Forum:Covenant Ship Designation

You know, I've been wondering what exactly what some of these designations stand for. This thread is about what they might be. I already have some ideas (Questionmarks mean blanks on my part):

CRS-class light cruiser = Covenant Recon Ship

DAV-class light corvette = Direct Assault Vessel

SDV-class heavy corvette = Screen Defense Vessel

CAR-class frigate = Covenant Assault Recconaissance

RPV-class light destroyer = Recon/Patrol Vessel

CPV-class heavy detroyer = Covenant Patrol Vessel

CCS-class battlecruiser = Covenant Capital Ship

DDS-class carrier = Direct Deployment Ship

ORS-class heavy cruiser = Orbital Recconaissance Ship

CAS-class assault carrier = Covenant Assault Ship

CSO-class supercarrier = Covenant Surveillance Operations

What do you guys believe they stand for? Missing Mandible 18:16, 12 July 2011 (EDT)


 * I agree with the ideas you've already posted. Here are my ideas for the other classifications.


 * "SDV" may stand for "Screen Defense Vessel", as corvettes are often used to provide defensive screens when used as escorts. "Scouting/Defense Vessel" and "Surface Deployment Vessel" are also reasonable. Of course, it obviously stands for "Super Duper Vessel".


 * "CAR" may stand for "Covenant Armed Reconnaissance", "Covenant Armed Raider", "Covenant Assault Raider", "Combat Assault/Reconnaissance", "Covenant Assault Reconnaissance", or something similar.


 * "DDS" may stand for "_______ Deployment Ship". It probably does not mean "Defense Deployment Ship", since it is used to deploy occupation forces.


 * "CSO" may stand for "Carrier, Surface Operations", since it is able to deploy vast numbers of troops, vehicles, single ships, and matériel.


 * "ORS", the newly-given name for the Reverence class, may stand for "________ Reconnaissance Ship", though this is very unlikely, as it is a heavy cruiser. The "O" could mean "Orbital", but that doesn't seem right, since the Reverence operates in deep space. --Courage never dies. 08:32, 13 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Was it stated that the ORS-class only operates in Deep Space? It could stand for Orbital Reinforcement Ship. Or it could be Occupational Reinforcement Ship. Missing Mandible 16:26, 13 July 2011 (EDT)
 * DDS: Direct Deployment Ship? Lands right on the planet's surface and deploys troops directly? However, I don't agree with some of your ideas. Some of them seem to contradict their class type.--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 17:21, 13 July 2011 (EDT)


 * Well, this thread isn't actually about my ideas. I'm just trying to find the best possible designations for these ships. By all means, correct them. Missing Mandible 18:14, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

Some of my ideas

CAR: Covenant Assault Recconaissance

ORS: Orbital Recconaissance Ship

CSO: Covenant Surveillance Operations

Maybe that's some of my guess about the rest of unanswered Class..
