__NOTOC__
==Service history==
On March 2, 2494, the ''Jericho'', alongside fellow destroyers {{UNSCShip|Buenos Aires}} and {{UNSCShip|Las Vegas}}, was tasked with patrolling the [[26 Draconis system]] in response to the [[Insurrectionist|insurgent]] capture of the [[UNSC corvette|corvette]], {{UNSCShip|Callisto}}. At this time, all three destroyers had yet to see combat, with weapons that had never been fired and crews that had never seen combat. Around 0300 hours on March 2, the [[battle group]] made contact with the ''Callisto'' in the 26 Draconis asteroid belt and proceeded to pursue the stolen corvette. All three destroyers were ordered by [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Harold Lewis]] to coordinate fire and arm six of their respective seven [[Ares missile]] silos, before opening fire around 0315 hours. While initially considered an easy kill, the detonation of a [[nuclear weapon]] hidden in one of the asteroid masses by the rebels in a manner similar to a shaped charge saw the ''Buenos Aires'' pelted with radiation and debris, taking the brunt of the damage due to its position at the fore of the task force.{{Ref/Reuse|Cole4}}

While ''Buenos Aires'' was confirmed destroyed, the ''Jericho'' and ''Las Vegas'' were severely damaged. [[External Camera 6-K]], part of the sensory equipment on the ''Jericho'', was destroyed in the incident.{{Ref/Reuse|Cole4}}

==Trivia==
It is most likely named after the city of [[Wikipedia:Jericho|Jericho]].
