Despite their powerful armament and maneuverability, many Fleet officers looked down upon destroyers, considering them too ineffective against Covenant ships. It was generally agreed that seven destroyers were a match for four [[Covenant frigate]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|class}} One of the most notable ''Halberd''-class destroyers was the {{UNSCShip|Iroquois}}, captained by [[Commander]] [[Jacob Keyes]], which performed the daring [[Keyes Loop]] during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]. This destroyer type continues to be in service with the Navy by [[2557]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 10|Issue 10]]''</ref> | ||
