→Frigate MACs: This is incorrect. Both Paris and Charon-class frigates can be clearly seen firing from their upper booms, and the muzzle of the weapon is on the upper boom on the in-game models for both ships. The Stalwart-class is the only one of the three to have it's MAC on the lower boom. Also corrected "boon" to "boom".

On the ''Paris | On the ''Paris'' and ''Charon''-classes of ship, the barrel of the gun itself is located in the upper boom at the fore of the ship, with the lower boom containing fire-control systems and pulsed power storage. This is inverted on the ''Stalwart'' class, where the barrel is in the lower boom.{{Ref/Reuse|WF36}} The post-war {{Class|Anlace|light frigate}} is a unique exception to the typical rule of spinally-mounted MACs, instead employing a single MAC on a rotating turret on the ship's aft, allowing the gun to fire at targets around the ship.{{Ref/Generic|Id=Loftus1|[[Stephen Loftus]] on the Anlace-class frigate [[Talk:Anlace-class frigate|talk page]]}} The heavy MAC employed by the ''Strident'' frigate employs twelve capacitor cells, allowing it to achieve firepower levels similar to those of destroyers or light cruisers - limited only by the stock of ammunition carried aboard ship.{{Ref/Reuse|WF38}} | ||
