Template:Ship Class Infobox

The Razor-class prowler is a class of stealth corvette in the UNSC Navy.[1] Razor-class ships were already in service during the Insurrection and were considered old by 2553.[2]

Specifications

Armament

The Razor-class prowler is often used for conducting air strikes against stationary targets, and as such it is well-armed in comparison to most prowlers. It is armed with a large missile payload composed of Argent V[3] and M28 Shriekers.[4] To protect its troops when disembarking, it has a pair of nose-mounted 50mm autocannons[3] and belly-mounted 30mm turrets.[4] A Fury tactical nuclear weapon

Crew and Complement

The Razor-class prowler is able to carry a full ODST platoon of 40 men in its drop bay, complete with vacuum-rated armor and thruster packs. When increased to 42, it is estimated to take at least four seconds to clear the bay. This could potentially spread the platoon across a 30-kilometer area of space when deployed in a typical drop-and-go fashion.[5] The drop bay also had recessed tie-down bars that were supposed to secure an M12 Warthog. To complement them, two D75-TC Pelicans are stored in its hangar bay.[6]

The prowler could accommodate a crew of up to 22 personnel, with seven servicemen occupying the flight deck at the front of the prowler. This is composed of the prowler commander, pilot, copilot, sensor operator, communications officer, navigator, and weapons controller.[7] Located in the middle of the prowler was the engineering section, which was divided between two decks.[8]

Countermeasures

The Razor-class prowler had a refractive coating on its hull to obscure it from enemy sensors.[9] Although difficult to detect, human sensors have a 30% increased chance to detect the prowler when it is located roughly 100,000 kilometers away.[3]

Trivia

The UNSC Razor's Edge may be part of this class.
