The '''UNSC ''Gorgon''''' was a heavy destroyer during the [[Insurrection]] in the late 25th century. The ''Gorgon'' was the first vessel to be armed with a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], and was commanded by [[Captain]] [[Preston Cole]]. Cole led the vessel in numerous confrontations with insurrectionist forces. Most notably it thrice engaged the insurgent-controlled [[UNSC Bellerophon/Bellicose|UNSC ''Bellerophon/Bellicose'']], which escaped twice and fought Cole to a draw once. In [[2502]] the ''Gorgon'' was laid up in a space dock for repairs after a battle which cost the lives of thirty-two of its crew members. The rest of the crew was granted a month of leave.
 
==Trivia==
*The Gorgon (Destroyer), may in fact be the same ship as the [[UNSC Frigate]] of the same name. By comparison to destroyers of the [[Human-Covenant War]] those of the [[Insurrection]]-era were lightly armed and armored; the Gorgon may have been reclassified as a frigate as it became obsolete as a destroyer.
