UNSC Dreadnoughts

"Its easier to take an existing name for a ship class, and redefine it rather than to make a new one."- Unnamed UNSC engineer

Reintroduction and Redefining
Dreadnaughts had long been outdated by naval standards and classifications. However, they recieved a redefinition by the UNSC which brought the name and ship back into service. Dreadnoughts still remained focused on anti-ship capability's but not to the same extent as a battleship. The carried a decent fight and landing compliment, and had a much more extensive point defense system. Essentially, a cross between a battleship and a carrier, but leaning more towards the battleship side. This was a large partially multi role, capital ship. These were few in number within the navy, but highly popular and used as command ships when available due to their versatile nature.
