The ''Poseidon'' is unusual for a [[UNSC starship]] in that it does not have a primary [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] weapon system; instead, the carrier's heaviest weaponry consists of two [[Mark 2551 Onager]] turrets and two [[Archer missile|M42 Archer missile]] pods. The carrier's weapons complement is instead more focused on defensive measures, boasting twenty [[M870 Rampart point defense gun]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | The ''Poseidon'' is unusual for a [[UNSC starship]] in that it does not have a primary [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] weapon system; instead, the carrier's heaviest weaponry consists of two [[Mark 2551 Onager]] turrets and two [[Archer missile|M42 Archer missile]] pods.

===Propulsion=== | |||
The ''Poseidon''-class is propelled in transit by a single [[fusion drive]] located on the back of the ship.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}} On at least one vessel, {{UNSCShip|Milwaukee}}, superluminal travel is accomplished via installation of an advanced [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] (SFTE), utilising technology reverse-engineered from alien [[Covenant]] and/or [[Forerunner]] technology recovered during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. This installation allows the carrier to make long-ranged [[Slipstream space|slipspace transits]] extremely rapidly - fast enough to allow the removal of the ship's [[Cryo chamber|cryogenics bays]] entirely to be replaced with simple seating.{{Ref/Reuse|LoO}} It is unknown whether the ''Milwaukee''{{'}}s advanced SFTE is representative of the ''Poseidon''-class as a whole. | |||
