London-class Battleship

The London-class Battleship was a UNSC Battleship used in the latter stages of the Human-Covenant War. It is most notable for being the first ship to use a Gallium Self-Sealing Layer.
== History ==
Plans for the London-class Battleship were first drawn up in 2538. The UNSC Navy wanted a larger Battleship with more firepower to replace the old Harvest-class Battleship that had been in production since 2529. The main technological innovation on the London-class was the inclusion of a Gallium Self-Sealing Layer.
The first Battleship from the London-class was the experimental UNSC London. It's construction began in March 2541, and it was launched in November 2543. The first run of production started before the UNSC London, had even been completed, in February 2542, and six more London-class Battleships were launched in August 2544. 
London-class Battleships saw only light action prior to the 2547, as they mostly were stationed in the Inner Colonies on guard duty. The only exceptions were the UNSC Amsterdam and UNSC Brussels, both of which were involved in the Fall of Gliese 581 in 2545. The two Battleships were key to holding off the Covenant Navy for three months, however after that time Covenant reinforcements arrived. UNSC Amsterdam took heavy damage, and the UNSC Fleet retreated.
