The '''UNSC Frigate''' is a common starship classification amongst the [[UNSC]] fleet. Although it is significantly weaker in armor and armament compared to its larger cousin, the [[UNSC Destroyer]], the frigate is smaller (thus more maneuverable), and externally appears to be a shorter and smaller version of the [[Halycon-class Cruiser|''Halycon''-class Cruiser]]s<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 271</ref>. It is cheaper to produce, allowing greater numbers to be fielded against the [[Covenant]].

Template:Ship The UNSC Frigate is a common starship classification amongst the UNSC fleet. Although it is significantly weaker in armor and armament compared to its larger cousin, the UNSC Destroyer, the frigate is smaller (thus more maneuverable). It is cheaper to produce, allowing greater numbers to be fielded against the Covenant.

However, with current human technology, the UNSC frigate is barely a match for even the smallest Covenant vessel. It is outrun by even larger Covenant vessels, its armor susceptible to enemy pulse lasers and plasma torpedoes, and its weaponry substandard. Only en masse does the UNSC frigate give any United Nations Space Command fleet element an advantage in the war against the xenocidical Covenant.
