While not explicitly confirmed, it is extremely heavily implied that the ''Point of No Return'' is a {{Class|Point Blank|prowler}}, as introduced in ''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''. In ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', the ''Point of No Return'' is stated to be "easily the size of a UNSC destroyer", while the ''Point Blank''-class measurements provided in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]'' notably explicitly provide the exact same length as the {{Class|Halberd|light destroyer}}. This is a notable change; the ''Point Blank'' was first designed for the [[Sins of the Prophets]] fan mod, in which it is notably larger. This active change away from the source material to a specific number on par with the ''Halberd'' almost certainly corresponds with aligning the ''Point Blank'' with ''Ghosts of Onyx''{{'}}s statement about the ship's size. | While not explicitly confirmed, it is extremely heavily implied that the ''Point of No Return'' is a {{Class|Point Blank|prowler}}, as introduced in ''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''.

The ''Halo Encyclopedia'' also went out of its way to mention the "stealth cruiser" nomenclature as being a nickname applied to the ''Point Blank''-class, rather than a sweeping broad sub-categorisation of UNSC spacecraft - somewhat reinforcing that there are presumably not a series of stealth cruiser classifications in the navy. | ||
Additionally, ''Silent Storm'' also introduced the concept of Prowler naming schemes; [[Ghost Flight]] Prowlers all have names with ''Ghost'' in their title - ''[[UNSC Ghost Song|Ghost Song]]'', ''[[UNSC Ghost Star|Ghost Star]]'', ''[[UNSC Ghost Wind|Ghost Wind]]'' and so forth for the other themed flights featured in the book. Similarly, the ''Point Blank''-class ship introduced in ''Silent Storm'' alongside the {{UNSCShip|Vanishing Point}} share the "''Point''" nomenclature seemingly inherent to this stealth cruiser classification. As such, this article treats the ''Point of No Return'' as a ''Point Blank''-class prowler. | Additionally, ''Silent Storm'' also introduced the concept of Prowler naming schemes; [[Ghost Flight]] Prowlers all have names with ''Ghost'' in their title - ''[[UNSC Ghost Song|Ghost Song]]'', ''[[UNSC Ghost Star|Ghost Star]]'', ''[[UNSC Ghost Wind|Ghost Wind]]'' and so forth for the other themed flights featured in the book.
