The Punic-class supercarrier is a carrier sub-classification in service with the UNSC Navy. Although there were only a few constructed, the Punic-class supercarriers served the UNSC in numerous campaigns and holding actions during the Covenant War, including performing as base stations for decisive counterinsurgency and evacuation operations.[2] Among them the most notable was the UNSC Trafalgar.[1][3]
The supercarrier was made for direct confrontation with Covenant capital ships, and was one of the few UNSC ships effective in this role. The armaments and armor of a Punic-class supercarrier dwarf those of any other carrier in service with the UNSC Navy.[1] The Punic class is capable of mounting frigates or destroyers in its ventral sub-vessel hangar bays.[4]
