Most UNSC Ships carry several sets of these, stationed at airlocks. Like [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropships, each has a call sign, usually consisting of three letters from the [[Phonetic Alphabet]], followed by a two-digit number. | Most UNSC Ships carry several sets of these, stationed at airlocks.

The | The Class-3 was designed to ferry up to nine people at a time. It has one pilot seat as well as eight side-facing crash seats. The seats have harnesses to keep people from injury when crash-landing. The effectiveness of the safety features on the Bumblebee vary greatly, as can their reliability. During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], some Bumblebees landed without any injuries to their passengers, while others suffered catastrophic failures while in mid-air, resulting in the deaths of most or all aboard upon impact. | ||
Bumblebees have little in the way of maneuverability. They feature thrusters and air-brakes to slow down during descent. Normally after a landing, the pod can never be used again, as the pods will most likely suffer a great amount of damage, including the air brakes breaking off before or during the impact. | Bumblebees have little in the way of maneuverability.
