The ''Razor''-class prowler is armed | The ''Razor''-class prowler is heavily armed, and seems to sport varying loadouts depending on mission specifics. A standard loadout for a ''Razor'' consists of two [[M870 Rampart]] point-defence guns and several missile pods including twelve [[M28 Shrieker missile]]s and eight [[Argent V missile|M4510 Argent V missiles]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} This can differ; the ''Razor''s of [[Task Force Yama]] during [[Operation: SILENT STORM]] instead employed four autocannons including two belly-mounted [[Machine-linked autocannon|30mm guns]] on the prowlers of [[Ghost Flight]],{{Ref/Reuse|HSS8}} and two nose-mounted 50mm cannons (presumably the two aforementioned Ramparts) on {{UNSCShip|Black Widow}}.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS25|HSS|Chapter=25}} Both the Shrieker and Argent missiles can be used in a ground-attack role.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS8}}{{Ref/Reuse|HSS25}} | ||
During the [[Battle of Netherop (2526)|Battle of Netherop]], the ''Razor'' {{UNSCShip|Night Watch}} was equipped with four autocannons and multiple [[Archer missile]]s of unspecified model.{{Ref/Reuse|HO6}} | |||
The ship also carries three [[Fury tactical nuclear weapon|Fury-class]] [[Medium Fusion Destructive Device]]s (MFDDs) for more large-scale destruction.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} In the event that the vessel is compromised, ''Razor''-class prowlers make use of a [[self-destruct]] system tied to a one-megaton Fury weapon in the [[engineering|engineering section]], which can completely pulverize the ship, any technology and data within it, and any hostile party that may be trying to access it. Generally, the nuke is programmed to detonate automatically if the ship experiences a catastrophic event, such as a crash. However, it will only detonate if there are no live signs detected within the vessel. If there are survivors detected, the self-destruct system will only activate once there has been no shipboard motion for two hours. The nuke can also be remotely activated at will by either the ship's flight commander or wing commander. The captain of the [[fleet]] or [[task force]]'s [[flagship]] can also detonate the nuke remotely.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS14|HSS|Chapter=14}} Personnel trained to handle Fury nukes can enter certain codes to arm the device manually, even setting a timed delay if desired.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS15}} | The ship also carries three [[Fury tactical nuclear weapon|Fury-class]] [[Medium Fusion Destructive Device]]s (MFDDs) for more large-scale destruction.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} In the event that the vessel is compromised, ''Razor''-class prowlers make use of a [[self-destruct]] system tied to a one-megaton Fury weapon in the [[engineering|engineering section]], which can completely pulverize the ship, any technology and data within it, and any hostile party that may be trying to access it.
