| 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]]'', 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 vessel was named for the Gorgons of Greek mythology.
| |
| *The UNSC Gorgon (Destroyer) may in fact be the same ship as the [[UNSC Frigate|Frigate]] of the [[UNSC Gorgon (Frigate)|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. Such events have occured before, such as the reclassification of [[Wikipedia:USS Stein|USS Stein]] from DE-1065 (Destroyer escort) to FF-1065 (Frigate).
