Talk:Capital ship

I think we should perhaps add the Halcyon class to this page. But I suppose we should come up with good definition of what a capital ship is, exactly. By my logic, at least, if the Marathon class is a capital ship then its predecessor must be as well. ElFroCampeador TALK 18:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Cruisers
Do we have in-universe sources for cruisers being considered capital ships in UNSC conventions? My own research indicated that battlecruisers are the smallest ships that are usually considered capital ships, and armoured, light and heavy cruisers are not. For that matter, the term Light capital ship appears to have been a term somebody came up with - anything smaller than a battlecruiser is not considered a capital ship, in modern naval parlance (at least as far as I know). --  Qura 'Morhek   The Autocrat     of Morheka   01:24, 17 May 2014 (EDT)
