'''Stealth Ablative Coating''' is a material found on [[UNSC]] Stealth ships. Black in color, Stealth Ablative coating serves to refract both [[UNSC]] radar and [[Covenant]] sensors, making the ship invisible to radar, similar to the way [[Active Camo]] cloaks something from eyesight. The coating must be maintained perfectly or it will return radar signals. This necessitates constant maintenance on the entire coating. Therefore, virtually all [[UNSC Prowlers]] have relatively small surface areas, so that less has to be maintained. An exception to this is the {{UNSCShip|Point of No Return}}, which is a Prowler the size of a [[UNSC Destroyer]]<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], | '''Stealth Ablative Coating''' is a material found on [[UNSC]] Stealth ships.
