Able-class heavy destroyer
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings Template:Ship Class Infobox The Gorgon-class Heavy Destroyer was a warship classification in the UNSC Navy. It was the first vessel within the UNSC Navy to be equipped with a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, a weapon system that would later become a standard armament to most UNSC naval ships.
Overview
The first Heavy Destroyer introduced into UNSC service, the Gorgon-class, was commanded by Preston J. Cole, and used to engage the UNSC Bellerophon/Bellicose.[1] The warship at the time was only capable of unleashing three shots before needing to resort to other armaments.[2]
Trivia
- While the exact class is not mentioned, the UNSC Gorgon is stated to be the first of the 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 as the Gorgon members of the Gorgon-class.
