Paris-class heavy frigate: Difference between revisions

''Paris''-class frigates are more heavily armed than most [[UNSC frigate]]s. Like all frigates in service with the UNSC, the ''Paris''-class' primary armament is a single light [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. The frigate is also armed with twenty-six [[Archer missile]] pods which, while ineffective against [[energy shielding]] and vulnerable to Covenant point defenses, have proven potent against enemy armor. ''Paris''-class frigates have twelve naval coilguns located across the hull. Its additional firepower means that it can easily handle Covenant fighter craft and can hold its own against small Covenant warships, as shown when the heavy frigate {{UNSCShip|Savannah}} engaged the much larger [[SDV-class heavy corvette|Covenant corvette]] ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'' during the [[Fall of Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|LNoS}} It also boasts [[Point-defense gun|Point Defense System]]s.<ref name= "GuideGrafton"/>
