The UNSC Swordfish is an offensive attack ship. It is loaded with weapons including pulse lasers, emp sticks, chain guns, rail guns, missiles, rockets, nukes, just to name a few. The giant dual MAC cannon sits in front of the ship but can shift to the top for more evasive maneuvering. If that isn't enough for you, new technology allows the entire ship to be covered in a thick hardlight shield shaped as a sharp cone around the ship. Not only does this protect the ship, it turns it into a space ram capable of cutting through any ship like a bullet, hence the name, SWORDFISH.
