Windstorm-class carrier

The Windstorm-class of assault carriers began entering United Nations Space Command (UNSC) service in 2446. The Windstorm carriers were intended to replace the outdated war-era Maelstrom-class and to correct their perceived shortcomings. 
After the introduction of the revolutionary Orion-class assault carriers in 2473, the Windstorm carriers were reclassified as light carriers in 2475. Slated for retirement in the early 2500s, the outbreak of the Insurrection dramatically changed priorities and kept the Windstorm carriers in service until the last of the class was lost to the Covenant in the 2550s.
