The ''Razor''-class prowler incorporates a [[Stealth ablative coating|refractive coating]] onto its hull to obscure it from enemy sensors.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}} Although difficult to detect, human sensors have a 30% increased chance to detect the prowler when it is located roughly 100,000 kilometers away.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS25}} [[Sangheili First Blade officer|First Blade]] [[Tel 'Szatulai]] of the [[Silent Shadow]] observed that the stealth capabilities of the ''Razor''-class prowler were superior to the [[active camouflage]] of the [[intrusion corvette]]s in [[Bloodstar Flotilla|his own flotilla]]. Even when backlit by a planet and visible to the naked eye, the prowlers remained invisible to any of the sensors employed by the [[Covenant]] corvettes.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS12|HSS|Chapter=12}} | The ''Razor''-class prowler incorporates a [[Stealth ablative coating|refractive coating]] onto its hull to obscure it from enemy sensors.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}} Although difficult to detect, human sensors have a 30% increased chance to detect the prowler when it is located roughly 100,000 kilometers away.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS25}} [[Sangheili First Blade officer|First Blade]] [[Tel 'Szatulai]] of the [[Silent Shadow]] observed that the stealth capabilities of the ''Razor''-class prowler were superior to the [[active camouflage]] of the [[intrusion corvette]]s in [[Bloodstar Flotilla|his own flotilla]].

In the event that the vessel is compromised, ''Razor''-class prowlers make use of a [[self-destruct]] system tied to a one-megaton [[Fury tactical nuclear 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 | In the event that the vessel is compromised, ''Razor''-class prowlers make use of a [[self-destruct]] system tied to a one-megaton [[Fury tactical nuclear 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.

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|HSS14|HSS|Chapter=14}} | ||
