I reckon we should move the list of ships and stations in this article to a new page; "List of UNSC ships". Thoughts?--[[User talk:The All-knowing Sith'ari|The All-knowing Sith'ari]] 13:59, 2 November 2011 (EDT)

I agree, the number of known ships and stations is only going to increase.

::::::Where is it stated that the Majestic is a Destroyer? And if Destroyers apparently have quicker recharge times (or simply can have more rounds loaded at a time) than cruisers, should that be added to the article?--[[Special:Contributions/68.8.14.28|68.8.14.28]] 14:45, 21 January 2013 (EST)
:::::::It's hardly impossible to imagine that ''Majestic'' fired its rounds with a reduced charge, allowing a higher rate of fire but less destruction. But then, you would do that if you were firing a MAC at a planet.--[[User:The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari|The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari]] ([[User talk:The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari|talk]]) 15:00, 21 January 2013 (EST)
::::::::Maybe, but that's speculation, right? The Majestic was of an unknown class, and it fired its MAC guns roughly once every five seconds. Meaning that it probably overrides the previous Fall Of Reach numbers. This does open up numerous plot holes (like why the UNSC ever had trouble if their MACs fire that fast and can snap a CCS-battlecruiser in half with three shots), but do we have any hard evidence that they didn't charge their MACs to full power? They one-shotted Covenant cruisers so I assume they were at full power.--[[Special:Contributions/68.8.14.28|68.8.14.28]] 17:20, 21 January 2013 (EST)
:::::::::Firing your MAC on full power against a ground target is a good way to do the Covenant's job for them, especially since you're putting as many kilotons as 24 Little Boy bombs against one target.--[[User:The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari|The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari]] ([[User talk:The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari|talk]]) 18:05, 21 January 2013 (EST)
::::::::::Well yeah, but the fact that they one-shotted the cruisers makes me wonder. That and this is just speculation; doesn't the hard game evidence just say that they fired MACs really fast without anything saying that they weren't at full power? Did the areas they hit not get reduced to rubble? If either of those things are true, do you have anything to prove it?--[[Special:Contributions/68.8.14.28|68.8.14.28]] 19:30, 21 January 2013 (EST)
 
''(reset indent)'' Going back to the question given to me, I'm simply going along with [[UNSC_Majestic#cite_ref-class_1-0|this note]] on the [[UNSC Majestic]] article, which makes sense (or some sense) from the actual conversation on Reflection's radio. As to why it is capable of firing MAC rounds at such rate, do note that the figures from FoR only applies to POA and Commonwealth-class (though one can make an argument that the figures are capable of being extended to all cruisers and frigates). Do note that there might be other factors contributing to the destruction of the three CSSs, such as their potential position (i.e. they were on top one another, thus making it easier), one CSS crashed into another as it took damage and thus lowered the shields of the other CSS and therefore making it easier for Majestic, etc. Whatever it is... firing six rounds in three shots is still an overkill compared to firing one round per shot. As for the recharge rate, it is possible that they rerouted the power from the engines into the MAC capacitor, thus allowing quick recharge rate (like how Keyes told Hikowa at the end of FoR). Then again, it could be that destroyers have faster recharge rate since... well... they're destroyers. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  19:53, 22 January 2013 (EST)
:If that is true, then if the recharge time difference between the destroyers and cruisers (and presuambly colony ships and frigates as well) is so vast, as in several minutes to maybe ten seconds vast... why doesn't the UNSC just produce nothing but destroyers? Is this a plothole, a case of them not charging them to full power (unlikely given that they one-shotted the cruisers), or a retcon?--[[Special:Contributions/68.8.14.28|68.8.14.28]] 20:12, 23 January 2013 (EST)
::I'm just going to go with "Covenant ships aren't wank-tastic, and so MACs at a very low level can still one-shot them". Makes the most sense that way, especially given the sub-kiloton showings in Reach.--[[Special:Contributions/68.6.155.212|68.6.155.212]] 15:54, 2 September 2013 (EDT)
 
==Updating Equipment==
Might need to update where it talks about the UNSC's largest ships? Infinity is not mentioned anywhere in this section.{{Unsigned|The Librarian}}
 
==Proposal: Move list of ships to its own article==
Instead of maintaining a rather unorganized list here of Navy ships, I propose that we create an article entitled "List of ships of the UNSC Navy" similar to [[Wikipedia:List of current ships of the United States Navy|this article]] for the US Navy. In this new article, we can list ships of the UNSC Navy in an organize table, similar to the one from the Wikipedia article but with different columns. IMO, it would be a nicer way of organizing this. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 01:12, 5 January 2017 (EST)

== UNSC Port Stanley ==
 
Is there a reason that the Stanley is in the "Corvettes" category? Or, is that a mistake?
 
I'd move it to the "Prowlers" category myself, but I don't want to be ignorant to some lore that I haven't come across that might say it should be labeled as a corvette.  [[User:TheArb1ter117|TheArb1ter117]] ([[User talk:TheArb1ter117|talk]]) 15:09, January 26, 2020 (EST)
:Most Prowlers (not all just most at the time of this posting) are classed technically as Stealth Corvettes. Port Stanley is a Heavy Stealth Corvette.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 15:22, January 26, 2020 (EST)
 
Fair enough, but it is officially classed as a "Sahara-class heavy prowler" and that is the first thing you see when you visit its page.
 
To me, it would make more sense to categorize it based off its official ship class rather than the fact that it can also technically be considered a corvette (which is a fact that I do not dispute, however).
