- After doing a bit of digging (glad I've made some notes on these) "UNSC commercial fleet" is found on page 96. "Commercial fleet" seems more like a description than an official title though, since it's written in all lowercase. As for the UNSC operating a merchant fleet, I've always seen the UNSC as more of an all-encompassing institution even though its primary purpose is military. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 02:19, 19 April 2011 (EDT)
