|class={{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}}{{Ref/Note|Id=stalwart|In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' (page 163 of the Definitive Edition or 139 of the original edition), it is stated that [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]]' new ship, the [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] ''[[UNSC Iroquois|Iroquois]]'', was 7 meters longer than the frigates ''Meriwether Lewis'' and ''[[UNSC Midsummer Night|Midsummer Night]]''. ''[[Halo 2]]'' established the length of a UNSC frigate to be 478 meters; this was the later-named ''Stalwart'' class. Later, when a UNSC destroyer was first depicted in visual media with ''[[UNSC The Heart of Midlothian|The Heart of Midlothian]]'', it was established that the ship was 485 meters in length; an addition of 7m to the length of the ''Stalwart'' class. In ''Halo: The Cole Protocol'' (page 35), the ''Midsummer Night'' is revealed to be a light frigate. ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' established that the ''Stalwart'' and ''Charon'' classes would be considered light frigates, while the [[Paris-class heavy frigate|''Paris'' class]] would remain a heavy; a conscious decision to establish the ''Stalwart'' as the class the ''Meriwether Lewis'' and ''Midsummer Night'' belong to. Furthermore, since ''Stalwart'' is both a light frigate and the only frigate class to be 478 meters in length, the ''Meriwether Lewis'' and ''Midsummer Night'' must be part of this class.}} | |||
