Is this not the Gettysburg? -- 01:27, 7 October 2006
 * THis is not the guettysburg, is the in amber clad -- Napster81 1:34, 7 October 2006
 * same kined of ship--Ryanngreenday 15:21, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but it's clearly near a Halo. The Gettysburg was not near a Halo. --Dragonclaws 18:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * well someone edit the pic so its not above a halo.--Ryanngreenday 21:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

The Gettysburg was not the same class of vessel as the In amber clad. Its bridge had a crew compliment of 30. In amber clad had a bridge crew of just three. (First Strike Page 239). I happened to be looking through that chapter of the book just now. -ED 01:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Its a Frigate.--Ryanngreenday 09:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Meaning nothing. "frigate" designates the size of the ship. There is probably more than one configuration of Frigate. -ED 20:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with ED, just because they are both designated as a frigat doesn't mean the both look exactly the same, In fact that picture shouldn't be used on this page bacause Gettysburg never went to any of the Halos --Captain Jacob Rathens 23:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Reverse-Engineered?
If the gettysburg still had the Ascendant Justice's slipspace generators when it returned to earth (haven't read the book, so I don't know), it seems likely that the UNSC might reverse-engineer them and upgrade the fleet so as to match covenant ships' speed.

I agree the ship was probable turned over to the Tec boys (to quote Sergeant Johnson) and/or ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) so that its (Covenant) slipspace generator could be Reverse-Engineered into the rest of the UNSC fleet, and not to only that but it is the first UNSC ship to fire a successful plasma torpedo and with all the data Cortana stole from the Covenant and got from Halo and the Covenant Engineers on the ship it probable ended up as a research/test plate for new technology, unless it was force into service to defend Earth but this is unlikely as its technologies could possibly turn the tide of the war-- MCDBBlits 19:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


 * That might be how they can come up with new MJOLNIR armor so quickly. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 21:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
