  • The Barracuda-class Corvette is a light UNSC warship used for littoral and blue water patrol. The Barracuda is a lightly armed, high speed warship, designed to excel at high speed operations, such as littoral patrol, mine sweeping, anti-piracy operations, hit and run attacks, shipping protection and so on. For these missions, it has an armament consisting of a 30mm, high accuracy magnetic accelerator, capable of disabling similarly armoured and sized warships. It also has a secondary armament of 20 surface to surface attack missiles, capable of striking at ships at long range, skimming at low altitude across the sea. For close in defence it has two automated 30mm cannons and a battery of surface to air missiles for air defence against low to mid altitude enemy aircraft. The Barracuda has a

For close in defence it has two automated 30mm cannons and a battery of surface to air missiles for air defence against low to mid altitude enemy aircraft. The Barracuda has a complement of a single squad of Marines, a single Merlin dropship and two RIBs, allowing them to preform short range search and seizure missions.
