Talk:UNSC Forward Unto Dawn

The crew
So is there any indication as to what happened to the crew of the ship at the end of Halo 3? It seems as if every human who came with the ship except the Master Chief died, but unless Johnson knew how to fly it, or Miranda Keyes parked it where it was at the end of the game, it wouldn't make sense that it just ended up there. The Flood certainly didn't fly it to that spot. If they had, the Gravemind or whatever would have just left. -Kongurous 04:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Johnson probably had the entire crew relocated to Shadow of Intent, just incase Chiefs plan didnt work and they couldnt get off with Dawn. Kap2310 19:42, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Name
This is not the ship's whole name. There is at least one word before "Unto Dawn" but I'm having trouble reading it. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 19:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Plus, in the level, The Storm (Level), Lord Hood says, "Kilo 23, this is Forward Unto Dawn..." and a bunch of other crud we don't really care about. --B le mo 23 http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif TALK • CONTRIBUTIONS • SERVICE RECORD 04:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Some things not quite right.
Took some time to look at the in-game model of the Forward Unto Dawn, and noted that it has 50 hatches with radiations symbols on them. I'm willing to bet that these are Archer Pod's, but we don't really have any way of knowing.

In addition to that, "FFG" in modern navies, designates a guided missile frigate. Oh and the description for the battle over the portal is wrong. Not only were there more ships in that location than described, but the three frigates did not fire on any of the Covenant ships - they all specifically targeted Truth in the keyship to try and prevent him from activating the rings. If you watch the cutscene you will notice that none of the Covenant ships are ever damaged in any way. The only explosions are around Truth's keyship.
