| abstract
| - The Daring-class frigate was a class of light frigates utilised by the United Nations Space Command Navy, which served between 2587 and 2678, seeing major action during the Galactic War and Swarm War. In contrast to the highly multi-role Remembrance-class frigate, the Daring-class was a specialised warship utilised to provide a set of highly specific functions to a Strike Force, including reconnaissance, electronic intelligence and surveillance, electronic support including command, control and communications, and anti-prowler/anti-stealth warfare. These functions made it highly valuable when deployed as part of a Strike Force, as it was able to actively supplement the systems and capabilities of other battle group components; however this also meant its ability in combat without such support was restricted. In particular the Daring-class frigate's starfighter complement and armament were restricted due to its substantial complement of sensor and communication equipment. While the Daring-class had a limited combat ability when deployed without a Group, it routinely performed non-combat operations, such as electronic intelligence gathering and reconnaissance, independently of the unit it was part of. Vessels of the class featured enhanced stealth features and countermeasures, in addition to strong shielding and frigate-typical high velocity, in order to increase effectiveness and survivability. A major role of the Daring-class was to covertly insert Orbital Drop Shock Troopers to a target using SOEIV pods, often in preparation for a full scale assault by UNSC forces. The Daring-class was also tasked with command and control of deployed Prowler Squadrons. The frigate could keep pace with the Hesperus-class prowler and remain at a similar level of undetectability, whilst having better endurance and armament and an expanded communications suite. This allowed the Daring-class to function as a control and coordination vessel to deployed prowlers, augmenting their effectiveness. The vessel also had the ability to replenish prowlers while underway, which included resupplying ammunition and consumbables as well as removal of 'hot' heat sinks and replacement with clean ones. Introduced in 2587, the UNSC Navy had over 8,000 Daring-class frigates in service by January 2622.
