Naval autocannons had entered service by the late-24th century, with the {{Class|Mako|corvette}} equipping two and launched in [[2388]],{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=129}} and continued to see refinement throughout the next 150 years into the 26th century. By the 2560s, they have become a standard armament of human-made capital ships. | Naval autocannons had entered service by the late-24th century, with the {{Class|Mako|corvette}} equipping two and launched in [[2388]],{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=129}} and continued to see refinement throughout the next 150 years into the 26th century.

On page 39 of ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]'', the {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}'s Mark 55 Castor NCG is referred to as a [[railgun]]. This is presumably an error, as the weapon itself is referred to on the same page and in other sources as a naval ''coil''gun. If this weapon does indeed canonically turn out to be a railgun, this may also indicate other "mini-MAC" artillery such as the [[Mark 2547 heavy railgun|Mark 2547]] and [[Mark 2555 heavy railgun|Mark 2555]] heavy railguns to also come under the naval autocannon schema. | On page 39 of ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]'', the {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}'s Mark 55 Castor NCG is referred to as a [[Railgun (fiction)|railgun]].
