Description: The Gorgon-class heavy destroyer was a starship used by the UNSC.

The first Heavy Destroyer introduced into UNSC service, the Gorgon-class, would also be the first to include a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, a weapon that would later become standard armament. By comparison, later ships would be much better armed, but at the time the MAC was still a new piece of technology. The first ship of the class was commanded by Preston J. Cole, and used to engage the Bellicose.
