Manta-class Heavy Cruiser

"It looks more like a giant bullet!" -UNSC Captain Al Depson

The Manta class ships were Heavy Cruisers in the UNSC Navy.

=Information== The Manta-class ships are described as looking nothing like Manta rays, but more like big cumbersome objects, like Cow, or a Bullet. These ships were first put into service in the early Covenant-Human war and were primarily used to target insurrectionist bases, but they didn't have many functions in fighting the Covenant. Out of the 40 ships built for the UNSC, all were destroyed or considered obsolete in a mater of months after fighting the Covenant navy, one last vessel survived at that time, The Williamsoni. The Williamsoni was assigned to guard Earth as it's last orders and played a part in destroying a Covenant light cruiser during the battle of Earth and was then destroyed the same battle.

Weaponry
Weaponry consisted of 8 Archer missile points, 10 point defense cannons, 4 Heavy cannons, 2 Pelicans, and 4 Longsword fighters. (Williamsoni refitted with a MAC gun)
