so hold on a second, a nuclear mine dropped from a Prowler works that is like what 50 megaton thermonuclear warhead at best..? there is an absolutely massive amount of energy transferred if you were to take your ~500 metres long frigate, floor the engines and crash headlong into a Covenant ship, plus I don't think shields protect you from being hit by something that is lets say has a mass of a million metric tons (not too hard to believe at all.) moving at one thousands metres/second, that is rather large sum of energy.
plus there is another kamikaze tactic that could work, using frigates and their slipspace drives to destroy really large Covenant warships, drive along side, really close, active your slipspace drive and chances are your taking some of the other ship with you! as much as I love the Halo Universe and how rich it is, it does have some catastrophic holes in it, especially when it comes to things like this and other technology debates.
