The ''Gorgon'' was active by around [[2499]], at which time it was granted to the now-[[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Preston Cole]].

The ''Gorgon'' was the first heavy destroyer to be outfitted with a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], while Cole used to great effect in the first few years of the 26th century against [[Insurrectionist]] forces. During this time, the ''Gorgon'' crossed paths with, and engaged, the Insurrectionist vessel ''[[Bellicose]]'' twice, with the stolen [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] managing to escape the ''Gorgon''{{'}}s killing blow twice.{{Ref/Reuse|Cole5}} | The ''Gorgon'' was active by around [[2499]], at which time it was granted to the now-[[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Preston Cole]].
