''Hillsborough''-class destroyers were originally introduced into [[CMA Navy]] service in 2499, at the height of the [[Insurrection]]. The angular silhouette of the class was one of the defining symbols of the CMA during its tenure, and was able to outmatch its [[United Nations Space Command]] counterparts for decades. Despite this, it was radically outmatched by its [[Covenant destroyer|counterparts]] in the [[Covenant fleet]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ''Hillsborough''-class destroyers were originally introduced into [[CMA Navy]] service in 2499, at the height of the [[Insurrection]].
