The UNSC Leviathan, affectionately known as the Levi,[1] was a Marathon-class heavy cruiser in the UNSC Navy. It served as the flaghship of Battlegroup Leviathan and was commanded by Vice Admiral Hieronymus Michael Stanforth.[2]
Service history
The Leviathan was a veteran vessel, having been in numerous engagements. During the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV on July 17, 2552, the ship's bow was struck by a Covenant plasma torpedo, which started fires in the ship's foredecks.[2] After the battle, the Leviathan returned to Reach, where it was determined that repairs would take at least two months.[1] Stanforth then sent a request to FLEETCOM, asking for the ship's crew to be transferred to the Template:UNSCship while he "made rounds" at HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6 in Sydney, Australia on Earth.[1]
The Leviathan had presumably been repaired by August 30, 2552, the final day of the Fall of Reach. Soon after the arrival of the Covenant's Fleet of Particular Justice, the Leviathan was destroyed and Stanforth was killed.[3]
Trivia
Admiral Harold Stanforth was the commanding officer of a vessel of the same name in the early 26th century.[4]
