==Service history==
==History==
In [[2552]], ''Long Time Coming'' was commissioned by the Office of Naval Intelligence to carry [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Team Black]] in a [[Operation: BLOWBACK|covert mission]] in a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]-controlled [[Sub-sector 35|sector]] of space. Unfortunately, the ship was destroyed by [[Line Installation 1-4]]'s defenses while in [[Slipstream space|slipspace]]. Consequently, it transitioned back to normal space and crash landed on an [[unidentified moon]].{{Ref/Reuse|IssueOne}}
Some time after the [[Battle of Tribute]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]], this ship carried [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Team Black]] for a [[Operation: BLOWBACK|covert mission]] in a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]-controlled [[Sub-Sector 35|sector]] of space. Unfortunately, the ship was mysteriously destroyed while in [[Slipspace]]. Consequently, it transitioned back to normal space and crash landed on an [[Unnamed Moon|unknown Moon]].<ref name="IssueOne"/>
