Forum:The Reverence and the Supercruiser

I believe that the Reverence was a RCS-class armored cruiser, and the Supercruiser from The Fall of Reach was an ORS-class heavy cruiser.

Now, I'm not just stating my opinion without an argument. I credit the below arguments about the Reverence-class cruisers to the user Halo3.

Both the RPV-class and the CPV-class Destroyers are now said to be around 1500 meters in the Essential Visual Guide, so we will throw out the possibility of the Bloodied Spirit being either smaller or bigger.
 * Going on, in page 223 of Ghosts of Onyx, it is stated that "Three smaller ships gave chase to one larger. The small ones were two-thirds the tonnage of Bloodied Spirit." Since we know that the Bloodied Spirit is around 1500m, and 2/3 * 1.5 = 1, that puts these frigates at 1000 meters.
 * Going on to the main point, it then states that "The Incorruptible was twice their size." Notice the term "Their." It is plural. If it was talking about the Bloodied Spirit, it would have used "Its." This means that the Incorruptible is twice the size of the Covenant Frigate, rather than twice the size of the Destroyers. This places the Reverence-class at around 2000 meters, which is the same length as the RCS-class Armored Cruiser. It also has the same role as the RCS.

With that out of the way, the Supercruiser does kinda match the description of the ORS-class heavy cruiser. Keep in mind that Keyes was more or less estimating the length to be around the length of three UNSC Cruisers, which does place it in the 3 kilometer range. There is no way for him (Or anybody, for that matter) can get an exact length by just looking at it. The Essential Visual Guide made mention of the CRS-class light cruiser, which was in the same battle as the Supercruiser, so it is reasonable to assume that the Supercruiser is the other class mentioned (Though, this might be stretching it a little, we don't know for sure).

 * Tonnage doesn't mean 'length'. In a marine form it would refer to the amount of water that is displaced. How big it is in tons, I suppose, would be one way of saying it. It's a mistake as common to Halo fans as the mistake that Halcyons being 'small' cruisers meant that they were shorter in length than any other by far.--  Fore  run  ner '' 21:10, 24 July 2011 (EDT)
