UNSC Kraken

"The Kraken represents the apex of human naval technology, the largest ship ever produced by humanity, she is practically invincible and only a very large fleet could bring her down. I am happy to captain such an awesome ship!"

- Admiral Richard Ward speaking the Kraken, his flagship

The UNSC Kraken was the lead ship (and the only ship) of the Kraken-class Battleship line. She was commissioned in 2522 and at the time of her commissioning represented the future of UNSC naval warfar. Originally she was going to have sisters but since it cost trillions to build her and millions to keep her running UNSC Naval Command decided to abandon the Kraken Project.

She was in active service for about 7 months before she was sent back to Earth to become a museum ship. Throught-out the rest of the 2520s and the early 2530s she spent her days being stared at in awe by civilians who were amazed at the sheer size of her.

In 2534 she was returned to active service and sent to Tsingtao IV to reinforce the planet and participated in the battle for the planet, during the battle she was focused on by the Covenant/IERN fleet and was overwhelmed.
