UNSC Ironside

The UNSC Ironside (C-167), was a that served during the Human-Covenant War.

It famously served as the flagship of Rear Admiral George Elliot until the Battle of New Gettysburg where it rammed a Covenant destroyer to destroy it.

History
The Ironside was constructed by the Reyes-McLees Shipyards on Mars in 2510. It served in the Colonial Military Administration until its takeover in 2525.

Late that year the ship fell under the command of then-Captain George Elliot, a CMA officer now under NAVCOM. As part of his efforts to harden defenses in the Outer Colonies he began refitting ships under his command.

Alongside many Halcyons and other older ships the Ironside was upgraded to modern standards.
