Despite maintaining a [[:File:Infinity_fud_scale.jpg|similar profile]], the ''Charon'' class, most notably ''Forward Unto Dawn'', was redesigned in ''Halo 4''.

This increase | Despite maintaining a [[:File:Infinity_fud_scale.jpg|similar profile]], the ''Charon'' class, most notably ''Forward Unto Dawn'', was redesigned in ''Halo 4''. The ''Dawn'' appears much larger, though it is canonically still 490 meters long. This increase in scale was intended to create a more interesting playspace, much like the dramatic upscaling of the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}} in ''[[The Maw]]''; otherwise, the first level would be cramped and would require a great deal of backtracking. ''Charon''s seen in the ''Spartan Ops'' cinematics are represented with the proper scale. | ||
The enlarged cargo bay, a defining feature of the ''Charon'' class, is conspicuously absent or is at least moved inside the hull. Rather than having two primary engines on the main hull and two secondaries on the "wings", there are only two primary engines with one secondary nestled between them. The port and starboard hangar bays have been reduced from five small bays on either side to one or two much larger bays on either side; they are moved much farther back, remaining with the aft section. The point defense guns have been retconned into three separate models, increased in number, and moved to different areas on the hull. | The enlarged cargo bay, a defining feature of the ''Charon'' class, is conspicuously absent or is at least moved inside the hull.
