The UNSC Winged Hussar (hull classification symbol: DD-439), was a Diligence-class light destroyer in the UNSC Navy.[5]

Service history[edit]

The UNSC Winged Hussar served in the UNSC Navy until 2496 at the earliest, given the two underslung Magnetic Accelerator Cannons which were introduced to the class in this year.[5]

Trivia[edit]

The Winged Hussar was named after the Polish hussars, a formation of heavy cavalry often referred to as "winged hussars" for the large wings they attached to their saddles or their armor itself.
