:::SSBN/SSGN's would be quite a waste of money in the setting of an interplanetary conflict. At least with surface warships, if the Covenant destroys them, there's plenty of redundancy with Army and Marine heavy artillery and in-atmosphere frigates and the material/manpower losses are minimal. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}

::::Well from what I've deduced is that the UNSC Maritime Navy, serves as an indirect asset to engagements. Providing in-atmosphere fighters and bombers a re-arming and refueling station on the planet, rather than going through the effort of going back into orbit and re-entry. Which I think may expend a lot of unnecessary fuel. Or they may play a peacekeeping role, a Maritime carrier can provide the logistics and resources a frigate can with minimal risk of hijacking and attention. Finally (thanks for your patience) they were retired assets brought back into service to fight the Covenant on every front, its one extra mobile air field. ~ ZillaNova

== Reload Times ==
Where does the "several minutes" recharge/reload time on ship mounted MACs come from? I'm not doubting it's accuracy but it doesn't appear to be cited.--[[Special:Contributions/68.8.14.28|68.8.14.28]] 19:35, 8 January 2013 (EST)
