A Type-27 AA battery saw use during the [[Battle of Voi]] on [[2552#November|November 17th, 2552]], being deployed in the town of [[Voi]] in order to keep the UNSC forces away from the [[The Portal|Portal]] excavation. The UNSC planned a low-level strike, using frigates and Longswords, to attack the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] which was resting on the Portal, which was thought to be the [[Installation 00|Ark]] by the UNSC at the time. Throughout the battle, the AA battery fired continuously, and managed to destroy at least one Longsword. [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]] eventually breached the Covenant resistance in Voi and destroyed the AA gun, allowing [[Terrence Hood|Lord Hood]]'s ships to assault the Forerunner Dreadnought. | |||
T27 "Mantis" AA guns were also used during the [[Battle of Installation 00]], when the Covenant tried to construct them on the surface of the Ark to keep the UNSC ships above from reinforcing their troops on the ground. However, these batteries remained incomplete, as SPARTAN-117 with the assistance of several [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s stopped their construction, allowing the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} to land nearby.<ref name="storm"/><ref name="ark"/> | T27 "Mantis" AA guns were also used during the [[Battle of Installation 00]], when the Covenant tried to construct them on the surface of the Ark to keep the UNSC ships above from reinforcing their troops on the ground.
