UNSC ship choices reveal different fleet-design priorities

Which UNSC warship would each panel member most like to own?

Large carriers such as Infinity and the Punic class win support for their embedded escorts, while stealth ships such as Point Blank appeal for infiltration and intelligence work.

Infinity is attractive partly because its ten carried escorts turn one acquisition into a small force. Its several generations of technology also offer material to examine for possible development. The Punic-class supercarrier supplies a similar package, with four Paris-class frigates carried alongside its fighter complement; Trafalgar and Jutland are the examples proposed. A Longsword strike craft is one alternative if Infinity is excluded. Other answers favour specialised stealth hulls such as Point Blank and related prowler designs for their ability to approach hostile ships or operate where ordinary warships would be detected. The discussion distinguishes an actual cloaking device from sensor dampening, electronic countermeasures, and coatings that make a ship difficult to see. Those methods can complicate detection without making a vessel literally invisible. The competing choices value concentrated capacity, carried escorts, and covert access differently.
