The UNSC Remembrance-class frigate.
(purely fan made ship, simeler to the Paris-class frigate)
"No class suffered like the Remembrance did during the war. Every single battle, frigate after frigate would charge straight into plasma fire and perish instantly, each one trying to accomplish what the one before it couldn't. It pains me to wonder how many brave men and women gave their lives like this. Knowing their ship had the worst casualty rate in the Navy; hoping that at least whoever followed them into that howling dark would fare better. But that was before. Now things are different; now we're going to do to the Covenant what they did to us for twenty seven long years. Now it's payback time- and they'll pay in blood."
?Commander Kathrin Grunwald, commanding officer of the UNSC Reunion, to her crew following the ship's 2561 refit.
The Remembrance-class frigate was a class of frigates utilised by the United Nations Space Command, which served between 2512 and 2678, seeing several major galactic conflicts including the Human-Covenant War, Remnant War and Swarm War. Commonly referred to as the UNSC frigate, the mass-produced Remembrance-class frigate was one of the most common and long-serving UNSC Navy vessels in service; as a result, its image and presence was often seen to symbolise UNSC naval power. This was in stark contrast to the terrible rate of destruction experienced by the class during the 2525-52 Great War.
Serving in large numbers throughout this war, the Remembrance-class frigate was ineffective and inefficient in destroying vessels of the Covenant Empire not due to any flaw in its design, but as a result of the inherent superiority of Covenant technology. Seeing action at every major engagement of the war, the role the Remembrance-class frigate played in the war is often underestimated as a weak, ineffectual, disposable warship fielded against the Covenant to draw fire from more valuable warships. In reality, the Remembrance-class made up what it lacked in armament and resilience with speed, agility and versatility, and could attempt almost every role or task equally. The Remembrance-class frigate was a true multirole warship, designed to operate in a range of roles and with combat abilities against enemy warships, starfighters, surface targets and stealth vessels, and equipped with a variety of guided missiles and gun systems. This was in contrast to the highly specialised Daring-class frigate, which performed electronic intelligence, surveillance, anti-stealth and orbital insertion tasks almost exclusively; and the Vanguard- and Warrior-class destroyers, which were designed to perform escort tasks and direct combat with enemy ships.
Thanks to a modular construction and significant technological advances since its design, the Remembrance-class frigate was continually upgraded and refitted throughout its service, extending its lifespan and preventing it from falling into obsolescence. In 2561, nearly a decade after the conclusion of the war, the class saw its most extensive refit yet; being equipped with advanced power cores and armour technology, a fully modernised armament, enhanced sensory and targeting equipment, and the UNSC's first mass-produced warship shield generator, which drastically improved its performance against opposing vessels. These technologies were engineered by the UNSC under assistance by the Sangheili, Huragok, Ve'nek and Theran species, allowing Human technological knowledge to drastic change in a relatively short number of years.
After the Human-Covenant War, the class saw extensive service in the Remnant War fighting various Covenant successor factions and later, the Covenant Remnant. Following the end of the war in 2565, the Remembrance-class continued to be used by the UNSC Navy; and was expected to remain in service until at least 2620, with a slow phased withdrawal following. As this date approached, however, the withdrawal of the class became increasingly unlikely as a result of the UNSC's military buildup, itself caused by a substantial increase in galactic tension. This tension eventually resulted in the outbreak Galactic War, following which the Remembrance-class frigate's retirement was postponed temporarily; with the abrupt beginning of the Swarm War in 2633, this was put on hold indefinitely, as they continued to serve against extragalactic Swarm forces. By 2620, the UNSC had over 23,000 Remembrance-class frigates in service.

The build so far.
The Ship is now named the "UNSC Big Iron"
Big Irons almost done! Im so excited! though the pelican I built is a bit big... ima have to find somthing else to cram in there XD
Current Details:
Mass: 13248.9 (Blocks: 132489)
Length: 424m, Hight: 146m; Width: 74m (so far)
Power:20000.0/20000.0 (1842.4 e/sec) (it only has power right now for a few sheild blocks I placed incase of an emergency)
Thrust: 0.0
Shields: 2023.0/2023 (10s/sec)
End of Day 5 and hes a big boy! trying to do all i can each day and its proving to be worth it!
