During the [[Human-Covenant War]], ''Springhill''s were commandeered by the UNSC and retrofit as ordnance transport ships. One such example, {{CAAShip|Heavy Burden}}, would retain its CAA prefix even despite its conversion to a wartime logistics ship. The ''Springhill''-class mining ships saw extensive use during the early [[Human-Covenant war]], though the ''Heavy Burden'' served until the [[Battle of Kholo]] in [[2539]]. The ship was later the subject of a [[War Games]] map simulation.{{Ref/Reuse|evg208}}
