Glaive-class destroyer

The Glaive-class was a class of thirty-seven United Nations Space Command (UNSC) light destroyers. The class was intended as a simplification of the Halberd-class light destroyer design that would enable shipyards to produce destroyers rapidly to face the growing threat of the Covenant. While the destroyers were completed incredibly quickly - forty-five days, on average - the resulting warships were found to be totally inadequate for normal use. The UNSC ruefully permitted the shipbuilder to finish what destroyers were already in production and cancelled all further orders for Glaive light destroyers. The class was extensively reworked, such that they entered service properly in 2534, more than five years after the commissioning of the UNSC Glaive.
