    3:40 Modern aircraft carriers do not have "tons" of missiles onboard. For example the most modern carrier the Ford class only has 2 MK29 guided missile launching systems, 2 MK49 guided missile launching systems along with 3 Phanalanx CIWS. These are self defense weapons and are very light so it can focus on its main job which is launching aircraft. Destroyers and frigates are what form the core of the battlegroups air defense and missile strike capability with VLS cells that can house larger missiles than aircraft carriers carry.

      Yeah that annoyed me. Aircraft carriers are the specialization in modern navies and the frigates and destroyers make up the general capability. Completely opposite of what he said.

      The destroyers are the backbone of a carrier strike group not the core. The core ofc is the carrier. Us carrier strikegroups are usually comprised of 3/2 destoyers a cruiser and a single carrier with some ships that can be attached to the strike group like a supply ship or a guided missile submarine. The role of the escorts is to provide protection to the core or figuratively the head of the the force which is the carrier, though the escorts can do certain task like anti shipping, ground fire support and surface bombardment, it is usually the carrier and its wing of aircraft that does those task. That is why the carrier is the core it holds the force together and the escorts as the backbone. (the escort are usually relagated to specialized roles like frigates with anti submarine roles. The cruiser as the basis for fleet air defence and a secondary cammand ship to the carrier and the desrtroyers with multiple roles that includes anti submarine and fleet air defence)

    I honestly think that the Orion-class should've been a spiritual successor to the Spirit of Fire. A purpose built warship with a large factory plant, for infrastructure and equipment manufacturing, as opposed to a converted colony ship.
    It really should've been a part of the new age era of next gen ships. I figure the UNSC would want to invest in an advanced purpose built assault carrier that does what the Spirit could do but better. I would imagine the UNSC would've seen how successful the Spirit of Fire was in her service record.
    Instead its a new ship introduced into the canon that's actually part of an older generation...

      Yeeeesssss, give me MK-II Orion-Class! The Autumns are cool and all, but they most definitely do not have the same Awe Factor older ships did. Something Domineering and symbolic like the Orion, which is named after the Orion-Arm home to the Sol-System and Earth, and as such *THE* representative of the UNSC, would serve beutifully as a Flagship, a role that the Post-War UNSC lacks in.

    There is such an enormous lack of information and coverage out there surrounding the ships of Halo.

Bless you for going out of your way to cover these lore-exclusive ships (and with such depth and knowledge) since there's practically nothing out there that does! :<

So there’s a possibility that an Orion was present at the battle of earth, if the Stalingrad was that Orion then it was destroyed over onyx with the rest of the battle group.

  • @selenaautufuga7597
    @selenaautufuga7597 Год назад

    The Orion, my beloved. Also, saying its doomed by itself isn't fair, its a carrier, specifically designed for force projection and long distance combat away from supply lines, chances are it has a robust Fighter/Intecepter/Bomber compliment. And the ability to create whole vehicles from scratch almost certainly involved small-ish craft (Halo Starfighters are freaking CHONKY, other than the Baselard that is, which is probably what it used.), so it would have fared very well againt Innsurectionist or UNSC ships... ignoring the fact that most of them lost to the numerically supperior and technologically more advanced Convenent fleets...
    Anyway! Would love to see a breakdown of the Point Blank-Class Stealth Cruiser and compliment, including the S-14 Baselards, what exactly the 4 hangars it has do, and almost certainly not the inside since the Wiki very explicitly tells me they're not gonna tell me.

    The resulting powerhouse if you combine a Marathon with a Phoenix refit. Once again, I find myself annoyed at the 22' Encyclopedia for the new service entry date for this class. In the brief Fleet Battles description, these carriers were developed to combat the Insurrection. That, and the armaments have been screwed up again slightly. The model for the Orion clearly has 14 Mk.33 Coilgun Turrets shown (2 on the ventral hull, 4 on the dorsal, and 4 each on the port and starboard sides). Whether they are being described as 12 M870 PDN turrets in the 22' edition is unclear or if they've simply been left out.

      From a doylist perspective, it's a necessary thing on the part of the writers; if they say that X destroyer came into service in 2542, and then a random comic or marketing piece shows it active in 2529, that causes canon issues for the writing team. Managing teams of artists who may not be familiar with deep lore (especially outsource studios who aren't working on Halo full-time) is a big headache - canonically making sure all the ships are introduced prior to 2525 ensures that for the majority of stories they plan to tell, they won't run into as many issues.
