UNSC Ship Weaponry
ASGM-10 missiles - High explosive, guided missiles.
HE Anvil II missiles - High explosive, guided missiles.
Moray mines - The Moray mines have chemical-fuel drives that allow them to keep a fixed position or move to track specific targets. Moray mines can be programmed for timed, proximity or remote detonation. They can also be programmed to release or attach from or on any ship.
Archer missiles - High explosive, guided missiles. Archer missiles can be fired in volleys ranging from 180 missiles to 500 missiles.
50mm Auto cannons - Auto cannons used as the point-defense of UNSC ships.
MAC (Magnetic Accelerator Cannon) round - 600 ton super-dense ferric tungsten shell fired at extreme velocities.
MAC round (special) - Light round with a ferrous core and outer layer of tungsten carbide - the round splinters on impact, similar to the ‘shredder’ rounds of the MA5B AR. These rounds were used on the Pillar of Autumn.
Mark V MAC round - 3000 ton projectile accelerated to c-fractional velocities with a five second rate of fire. The Mark V MAC is used for planetary defense.
Shiva warhead - Remote/time/proximity detonated nuclear missile.
UNSC Ships
Frigate:

* One MAC gun
* Three Shiva warheads
Destroyer:

* Forty Archer missile pods - 1200 total
* One MAC gun (special) capable of firing three successive MAC rounds (special)
* Remote-piloted Longsword loaded with a Shiva nuclear warhead
* Capable of operating at 300% efficiency due to having two extra fusion reactors capable of supercharging the main reactor
* Smallest UNSC cruiser - one third the size of Marathon Class cruiser
There are, of course, many more UNSC ships such as the carrier, supercarrier, cruiser (which is the most powerful UNSC ship), ONI Prowlers, stealth ships, corvettes, etc but next to no information (or very little info) is given about them, that I have found at least.
