Her first commanding officer was [[Jacob Keyes]], who executed the famed "[[Keyes Loop]]" maneuver during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]; his exemplary performance would lead him to be reassigned as commanding officer of the cruiser {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. | ||

Commander Keyes approved of the war stripes painted on the ship, but intended to have them removed anyway. Both stripes would be damaged during the Keyes Loop. The commanding officer of the repair ship {{UNSCShip|Cradle}} offered to repaint them for Keyes, but Keyes refused the offer, choosing to leave the damage intact to display the destroyer's battle history. | ||
