Different Type of UNSC Prowler?
I don't know if everyone feels the same, but after seeing Halo Legends: The Package and The Mona Lisa on Halo Waypoint, it seems to me that aesthetically speaking, the UNSC Prowler Red Horse and ONI PRO-49776 looks almost identical to each other. And according to the UNSC Prowler article, prowlers are equipped with stealth ablative coating, which of course doubles as a kind of active camouflage (which is pretty much is in itself a kind of cloaking field device), which is, I believe, exactly what this ship has, and also is armed with a so-called "unknown" directed energy weapon system, which I believe is a variant of the pulse laser turret, which prowlers also have. Therefore, I strongly believe that this has to be a kind of prowler. If anyone agrees or disagrees, please present information on the how and why, or whatever data is relevant.

- In terms of relevant data, we have Frankie's comment stating it's not a prowler. However, it's true there's definitely a resemblance, and the "PRO" in the serial number would seem to suggest it's a prowler, but since Frankie confirmed otherwise, we can't just go and contradict him unless a future canon source (or 343i employee) identifies the ship as a prowler. As for the camouflage, it's definitely not a conventional prowler cloaking system - the stealth coating on normal prowlers is merely based on photoreactive panel surfaces while this ship has a some sort of energy field that bends light, much like Covenant active camo. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 17:08, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
- Okay. I will accept that, since it's coming from a former Bungie employee, now the 343i director Frank O'Connor, though I still think it should be otherwise. But that's just my opinion. But what about the so-called "unknown" directed energy weapons it had? Is there any available information on that? Xamikaze330 17:16, 27 August 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
We do know that Prowlers at least are armed with pulse lasers - I would say that's probably what they are, just represented with a heavy dose of artistic license. Same goes for the active-camo technology SPARTAN-347 18:53, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
- It looks almost identical to a Prowler. Frankie better have a good reason for this. xP -TheLostJedi 19:02, 9 December 2011 (EST)
Definitively Prowler ?
The UNSC Aladdin have been considered as a Prowler (though I don't remember it was said in SOPS). Since ONI PRO is likely in shapes, is it considered as a prowler, too ? ΛWant to speak ? 18:16, 17 March 2013 (EDT)
- Despite what Frankie said, it is. Can't be sure he was joking or not. The shape is the same as the Red Horse, so they are the same class. The one in Spartan Ops has a similar overall design but is much larger. All prowlers. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 20:32, 11 September 2013 (EDT)
I believe the energy weapons on this are pulse lasers
The reason why I believe that is although they were a different colour to the lasers being fired by the covenant seraph fighters they made a similar sound and had a similar shape to covenant seraph fighters and that oni prowlers also have pulse laser technology as wellSpartan Matt (talk) 19:58, 11 September 2013 (EDT)
Definitely Prowler V2
In light of the revelation of the UNSC Port Stanley's hull classification symbol as "PRO-46328", and the appearance of the Sahara-class overall, I don't think there's any justification for assuming this ship isn't a prowler anymore. Frankie may have been just throwing something out, or his statement may have been 343i's intent back in 2009, but it seems fairly clear they've ignored it since. --Jugus (talk) 09:20, 9 October 2016 (EDT)
