===Design details===
===Design details===
The Phantom gunboat is similar in design to the standard Type-52 Troop Carrier, but noticeably larger. However, the gunboat is used exclusively as a space combat craft rather than as a troop transport. It is equipped with a chin-mounted [[heavy plasma cannon]], four side-mounted, smaller heavy plasma cannons, (two on either side in place of the troop bay doors), and one aft plasma cannon. These weapons fire large plasma rounds similar to those of the normal "concussion" heavy plasma cannon. The gunboat is capable of emitting a powerful [[Energy shielding#Covenant energy shielding|energy shield]] that can deflect missile attacks.{{Ref/Reuse|LNoS}}

==Operational history==
Several Phantom gunboats assaulted the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[refit station]] ''[[Anchor 9]]'' in [[Operation: UPPER CUT]] during the [[Fall of Reach]]. They were escorted by [[Type-31 Seraph]]s and [[Type-27 Banshee]]s. All of the attacking gunboats were destroyed by a combination of Anchor 9's defensive guns, fire support from the UNSC Savannah, and the defending pilots, including [[SPARTAN-B312]], who, along with the other pilots, defended the station in a [[YSS-1000 Sabre]].{{Ref/Reuse|LNoS}} Eight Phantom gunboats are carried by the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Shadow of Intent]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|WF70}}

In [[2554]], [[Parg Vol]] used a Phantom gunboat as his personal transport during the [[Battle of Draetheus V]]. It was stolen by [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Sarah Palmer]] to reach [[X50]] and kill [[Merg Vol]]. She later escaped from the moon on the ship.{{Ref/Game|Id=HSA|HSA}}
