-Unlike [[Covenant fleet]]s, which are dominated by larger vessels such as [[UNSC cruiser|cruisers]] and [[UNSC carrier|carrier]]s, the backbone of the UNSC fleet consists of [[UNSC frigate|frigates]] and [[UNSC destroyer|destroyers]]. The brass favors this because Covenant ships have better weapons and defenses, thus larger and slower UNSC ships would not have the maneuverability to outrun Covenant weapons, one of few advantages the UNSC had over the Covenant was maneuverability.<ref name="Reach"/>

 UNSC fleets are often divided into two types: system defense fleets and numbered expeditionary fleets. Defense fleets are assigned to a particular system, though they were considered to be little more than glorified revenue police by many. However, they did provide desperately needed training cadres and battle-ready [[warship]]s to their systems during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. The numbered expeditionary fleets traveled to where they were needed from system to system. By late [[2552]], there was no longer any appreciable difference between fleets, as the Navy was no longer capable of conducting offensive operations without leaving the remaining colonies and Earth vulnerable.<ref name="fb9">'''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]''', ''Cole Rulebook - page 9''</ref>
