The ''Iroquois'' was covered with two meters of [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A battleplating]] and [[Vanadium steel|Vanadium steel alloy]]. It was painted with non-regulation, red war stripes painted on each side of the name "Iroquois," a reference to the Native American tribe of the same name. <ref name="Reach139"/> The ship also features a circular shaped bridge. 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 refused the offer, choosing to leave the damage intact to display its battle history. | The ''Iroquois'' was covered with two meters of [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A battleplating]] and [[Vanadium steel|Vanadium steel alloy]].
