*During the [[Battle of Earth]], [[Terrence Hood]] estimated the size of the Covenant fleet at Reach as 750 ships, stating the fleet that destroyed Reach was "fifty times" bigger than the fleet at Earth. However, it is clear that Hood was using hyperbole to express how much larger the fleet at Reach was.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]'', ('''[[Fleet Admiral|FA]] [[Lord Hood]]''': "''The Fleet that destroyed Reach was fifty times this size...''")</ref> The 2010 reissue of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' took this statement literally, and changed the number of ships at Reach from "over 300" to "over 750".

An example of this is when [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[McRobb]] compares [[Reach]] to Pearl Harbor.
