'''UNSC ''Canberra''''' ([[hull classification symbol]] '''CA-70''') was a {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} in the [[UNSC Navy]]. ''Canberra'' served as the [[flagship]] for the [[Fifth Fleet]] and was commanded by [[Fleet Admiral]] [[J. Harper|Harper]]. It participated in the [[Battle of Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|h2a}} | |||

UNSC ''Canberra'' served as the [[flagship]] of the [[Fifth Fleet]], composed of {{UNSCShip|Say My Name}}, {{UNSCShip|Feeling Lucky}}, five other {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}}s, and sixty-seven {{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}}s. By [[2552]], UNSC ''Canberra'' and the [[Fifth Fleet]] were stationed at [[Earth]] in the [[Sol system]] with the [[UNSC Home Fleet]]. When the [[Covenant]] [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] arrived at Earth on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], Fleet Admiral Harper intended to engage the numerically disadvantaged Covenant vessels directly, though Fleet Admiral [[Terrence Hood]] instead advised for his fleet to form a defensive perimeter around the Mediterranean cluster of [[orbital defense platform]]s. When the two fleets engaged each other, Harper ordered most of the Fifth Fleet to focus on the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}s.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''Cairo Station''</ref> | |||
==Trivia== | |||
The ship was likely named after after [[Wikipedia:Canberra|Canberra]], the capital city of [[Australia]]. UNSC ''Canberra'' shares its [[hull classification symbol]] and name with [[Wikipedia:USS Canberra|USS ''Canberra'']], a cruiser of the [[Wikipedia:United States Navy|United States Navy]]. The latter ship was renamed to ''Canberra'' to honor the loss of [[Wikipedia:HMAS Canberra|HMAS ''Canberra'']] of the [[Wikipedia:Royal Australian Navy|Royal Australian Navy]], which in turn was named after the city of Canberra. | |||
