*The name Marathon could possibly be a reference to the [[wikipedia:Battle of Marathon|Battle of Marathon]], fought in 490 BC where heavily outnumbered Athenians and Plataeans defeated an army of Persians who were trying to conquer [[Greece]]. This battle was also simulated by [[Wellsley]], [[Antonio Silva]]'s AI, while he was unoccupied in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]''. This battle also gave its name to [[Bungie]]'s previous [[Marathon (Video Game Series)|''Marathon'' game series]], and the name of this classification of ships may be a reference to the said series. | *The name Marathon could possibly be a reference to the [[wikipedia:Battle of Marathon|Battle of Marathon]], fought in 490 BC where heavily outnumbered Athenians and Plataeans defeated an army of Persians who were trying to conquer [[Greece]].

*In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', it is mentioned that the ''[[Leviathan]]'' was one of twenty UNSC cruisers left in the [[Fleet]], which were being slowly pulled back to protect the Inner Colonies. It should be noted however, that well over twenty cruisers can be seen orbiting Earth in ''[[Halo 2]]''.<ref name="page162"/><ref name="The Armory">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Armory (Level)|The Armory]]''</ref><ref name="Cairo Station">'''Halo 2''', level ''[[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> It is also possible that Fleet numbers and locations were highly classified secrets, and the UNSC purposefully lied about its remaining numbers of cruisers to gain any potential advantage they could. It is also possible that the UNSC pulled every warship it could find back to Earth and significantly increased ship production, although this is unlikely due to the loss of the shipyards at Reach. | *In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', it is mentioned that the ''[[Leviathan]]'' was one of twenty UNSC cruisers left in the [[Fleet]], which were being slowly pulled back to protect the Inner Colonies.

*In ''Halo 2'' on [[Cairo Station]], it shows Marathon-class cruisers continuously coming by, and a tactical display on the bridge showed eight cruisers, along with 67 frigates in the battle group near the ''Cairo'''s battle cluster. This may lead to the assumption that there may be dozens of Marathon-class cruisers in the [[UNSC Home Fleet]], due to the Marathon's effectiveness and [[Earth]]'s high-priority nature.<ref name="The Armory"/><ref name="Cairo Station"/> | *In ''Halo 2'' on [[Cairo Station]], it shows Marathon-class cruisers continuously coming by, and a tactical display on the bridge showed eight cruisers, along with 67 frigates in the battle group near the ''Cairo'''s battle cluster.
