UNSC Iwo Jima

The UNSC Iwo Jima was a UNSC destroyer in 2552.

It was part of Admiral Carl "Buster" Patterson's task force sent to Onyx to retrieve Dr. Catherine Halsey as well as the Spartan-IIs and Spartan-IIIs. During the first attack on Covenant ships in orbit in the Battle of Onyx, the Iwo Jima was trying to escape the fight when it grazed a Covenant carrier and spun out of control, and crashed into two Covenant destroyers. The ship then self-destructed, taking both ships with it.
