Hi Halo fans! I have been wondering what kind of ship type does the Spirit of Fire fit into? There are 5 types of combat ships in the UNSC Navy.  Namely: Cruiser (Pillar of Autumn), Carrier (Musashi), Frigate (In Amber Clad), Destroyer (Heracles) and Corvette. Well, I do know that the Spirit of Fire is a Phoenix Class ship, with its designation CFV-88, and it holds detachments of Marines, Vehicles (M808B 'Scorpion' Main Battle Tanks)  and Aircraft ( D77-TC Pelican). Of the 5 kinds of ships stated above, only 2 were designed originally for that. They are the Carrier and Frigate types. However, the In Amber Clad's designation is FFG-142, while the Spirit of Fire is CFV-88. Usually such designations, as seen in ships today, are grouped in the same way. Thus, I conclude that the UNSC Spirit of Fire (CFV-88) is a Carrier class, though other ships, such as the Halycon-Cruiser type Pillar of Autumn, has been heavily modified for the Spartans II's mission, I highly doubt that the Spirit of Fire is a heavily modified ship of a different class but those of a Carrier and possibly of the Supercarrier (Trafalgar) types. I would like to hear your thoughts. I have to log off soon and wont be able to check in for another 12 hours. Hope you all can discuss in my absence.

PS: Note that the brackets are fine examples to follow to. And that current US Navy Aircraft Carriers bear the designation CV,CVA & CVN. Very close to the CFV-88 designation!

note that each class has subclasses

Oh dear.. i don't have that much knowledge on the ships on Halo.. But i would guess it would be the one being able to carry the most troops, but then again, why would they post a cruiser so far away from more important systems ? So a guess would be a special carrier of some sort, probably a bit larger than normal.

the covenant were not considered a large threat at the time so big systems were not considered

Quite true, so a carrier for beating down on planetary uprisings would probably be the biggest one could expect i suppose ? I don't know that much of the ships except what wikipedia can tell me.

it would not be modified because the spartans didnt have high enough priority missions yet for that and this thread is dead because we dont have enough to tell us what about ships and i doubt we'll really find out

I think that eventually the info will be let out, but probably not untill the game is released, or very soon before that.

it doesnt matter what type it is

For the storyline it might, and who knows what other mechanics they could add, so the ship type might be relevant.

Holy Cr@p....

Nice job on (trying to) figuring that out.

Perhaps 'The Spirit of Fire' is by itself or is the flagship of a fleet of ships supporting the troops in the trailer. 

 

the spirit of fire is a carrier or heavy cruiser as determined by wikipedia

Where specifically does it say that ? Also a heavy cruiser ? I thought cruisers were the biggest..Oh well, we shall find out soon enough.

You must be a very young person. Carriers are the biggest Military Ships today and are the same in the Halo Universe.
