"The C720 Tanto is the replacement for the aging C709 Longsword. The Tanto has superior maneuverability, turreted guns, enlarged capacity for missiles, jamming equipment, and is less maintenance intensive. The largest improvement is the addition of an energy shield, which increases the advantage UNSC fighters have over Covenant craft."

― Lieutenant Commander Gordon Freeman, Ph.D., explaining the C720's capabilities.
