The UNSC Tral-blam!-ar (or something) was a Supercarrier built specificall to destroy Covenant ships. No canon images have been released though.

How the hell was that -blam-!ed? Its spelled weird; you'll have to look it up on Halopedia.

EXTREME PREJUDICE

halofanon.wikia.com is a fan fiction site.

The second link is also fan created material.

We have not yet seen the Supercarrier in any type of official media.

Racism isn't wrong if it's funny.

Halo Nation (Previously Halopedia), is a collection of canon material contained within the Halo Universe. As a result, unless otherwise stated, anything on there is canon.

That aside, there is really no reason for the UNSC to have Supercarriers. All of the Covenant Supercarriers are either captained by a very high ranking official or a Prophet, therefore they are mostly honorary and are primarily used transporting troops for large scale invasion and then ceremonial glassings.

Besides, one advantage that the humans had was that in response to the Covent being such resilient foes, humans are very stealthy and almost all of the Covenant ships that are brought down are done so with agility and stealth.

I wouldn't call it stealth but mostly strategy. Brilliant captians like Cole and Keyes changed the playing field in space.

Am I supposed to write something funny here?

Considering there is a "carrier" on the name, it's logical to think that it carries Longswords, the only UNSC spacecraft equal or even better than it's Covenant counterpart.
Also don't Halcyons and Marathons carry only eight of them? If so, it makes sense to have a ship for carrying lots of them.

off-topic: Halopedia stated earlier that Longsword had optional FTL, but it doesn't say it anymore. Does anyone know if it's completely false, or is there a source that can be interpreted in multiple ways? (Sorry if hard to understand, english isn't my first language)

Do note that Halopedia migrated to a private host site, halopedian.com, a wiki with the most updated canon info. Halo Nation is a undergoing a complex event.

On topic, a UNSC Carrier is said to be 3,000 metres long. If the word "Super" has any significance to the title, I would say that a Supercarrier be no longer than 5,000 metres.

If it has been removed from the article, it is most likely that it is false or the information is misinterpreted.
