The Vengeance-class destroyer was a class of guided missile destroyers that served in the UNSC Navy from 2544 onwards. The Vengeance-class was designed to replace or supplement several classes of destroyers already in UNSC service, most of which were both worn out from exhaustive service and outdated in design. The class incorporated many lessons hard learned by the UNSC during the Human-Covenant War, in which Covenant warships thoroughly outmatched Humanity's finest vessels at every encounter. Innovative design features included three full sized fusion reactors, extensive automation to reduce crew requirements, redesigned magnetic accelerator cannons and a significantly expanded armament. The Vengeance-class's design also incorporated some of the more cost-effective 'stealth' measures inc

| - The Vengeance-class destroyer was a class of guided missile destroyers that served in the UNSC Navy from 2544 onwards. The Vengeance-class was designed to replace or supplement several classes of destroyers already in UNSC service, most of which were both worn out from exhaustive service and outdated in design. The class incorporated many lessons hard learned by the UNSC during the Human-Covenant War, in which Covenant warships thoroughly outmatched Humanity's finest vessels at every encounter. Innovative design features included three full sized fusion reactors, extensive automation to reduce crew requirements, redesigned magnetic accelerator cannons and a significantly expanded armament. The Vengeance-class's design also incorporated some of the more cost-effective 'stealth' measures incorporated by the highly successful Nyx-class prowler, including a reduced RADAR cross-section and low-observable reactor exhaust. The class was an attempt to design, as far as was possible, a UNSC ship class that could engage the Covenant on more favourable terms. Although built in small numbers, the success of these design features heavily influenced the subsequent refit of vessels such as UNSC Pillar of Autumn. Twenty five examples of the class were built, of which nine remained active following the Battle of Earth. Production was restarted in 2553, following which it gradually replaced all existing destroyer classes during the Remnant War. At the time of their introduction, the Vengeance-class was the most advanced space combatant in UNSC service, and provided the backbone of the UNSC Navy's strength during the Remnant War. The class itself was finally retired during the height of the Galactic War, which highlighted its mounting age and obsolescence. Its influential design proved the basis for subsequent designs, such as the Warrior-class destroyer.
