While no presently-confirmed vessels yet fall into the advocate role, the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser|}} and {{Pattern|Elefen|battlecruiser}}s and their predecessor, the {{Pattern|Maugen|armored cruiser}}, match the given description almost perfectly.

Attack ships were the most common warships available to the Covenant, but were considered beneath the notice of most Fleetmasters except for use as diversions to distract enemies from more valuable targets, generally being pawned off to Kig-Yar or Jiralhanae and other profit-focused crews.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} They were usually assigned to patrol Covenant space, inspecting and escorting shipping that carried the tithes of Covenant worlds or pilgrims to High Charity.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet72}} Sangheili crews that found themselves assigned to such vessels tended to regard them as inglorious assignments, eager to prove themselves worthy of transfer to more prestigious assignments in battle, such as examiner type ships,{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet64}} but were unenthusiastic about protecting executioner ships when assigned as escorts.{{Ref/Book|Id=warfleet72|HWF|Page=72-73}}
