Eventually, the vessel was unlinked from the ''Ascendant Justice'' so that [[Vice Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb]] and [[First Lieutenant]] [[Elias Haverson]] could use the ''Ascendant Justice'' to lure a Covenant battle fleet to the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'', which was about to explode. <ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', page 332</ref>

After [[Operation: First Strike]], the ''Gettysburg'' and its skeleton crew headed back to the [[Sol System]], [[Earth]]'s home system.  Its fate afterwards remains unknown. Certainly the slipspace drive captured from ''Ascendant Justice'' was likely studied, though whether improvements were made in time for the [[Battle of Earth]] is unknown. The actual hull may have been refit for service in the decimated UNSC Fleet, or scrapped to provide materials for other ships.

*The Gettysburg has an onboard [[O-Club]], housing a massive table of oak, scored with numerous gouges and scorches from a hundred cigars set upon its surface. There was a bar stocked with bottles containing a rainbow collection of liquors. It also housed the UNSC gold-fringed blue flag, photographs of past officers and captains of the Gettysburg, and a tin Civil War daguerreotype that displayed battlefields of charging men, cavalry and cannons.
