In its original introduction, the ''Able''-class stocked eight or more Archer missile pods, alongside a complement of [[M810 Helix point defense gun|Helix]] point-defence guns for close-in defence. Perhaps the most notable feature on the ship is the introduction of the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]: while various classes of [[UNSC carrier|carrier]] had carried shipborne MACs since at least the 2470s,{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=127}} with [[cruiser]]s and [[UNSC corvette|corvettes]] employing them at least by the 2490s,{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=118}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=128}} these ships were the first heavy destroyers to begin employing the weapons. {{UNSCShip|Gorgon}} became the first heavy destroyer to mount a MAC system during the 2490s,{{Ref/Reuse|Cole5}} with the [[CMA Navy]] counterpart {{Class|Hillsborough|heavy destroyer}}s later coming in [[2499]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=125}}

The MAC on the ''Gorgon'' had an extremely limited ammunition pool, when compared to later vessels. The vessel's MAC was capable of stocking only three MAC shells, though following three days and two battles without resupply, the ''Gorgon''{{'}}s cannon had been reduced to just one round.{{Ref/Reuse|Cole5}}

In [[2525]], the ''Able''-class destroyers were subject to an extensive armaments refit. This refit destroyer was used to fight in the [[Human-Covenant War]], and stocks six [[Sentry autocannon|M66 Sentry]] [[naval autocannon]]s, twenty [[Archer missile|M58 Archer missile]] pods, four [[Howler missile|M96 Howler]] missile pods, and replaced the Helix point-defence guns with eight [[M870 Rampart point defense gun]]s. By this time, the 5D8F6 [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] was now standard.{{Ref/Reuse|CFDigsite}}
