- The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole (First appearance)
Note
- ^ Although the name the ship's class is not mentioned, the UNSC Gorgon is stated to be the first of its class. Naval classifications take the name for the ship series after the name of the first ship, thus making ships built with the same design members of the Gorgon class.
