UEES Gliberti (PCG-3762) is a first generation (Flight I) Aegis Hammerhead destroyed in 2782 during a Vanduul ambush. It was the first active duty Hammerhead loss. The ship was ambushed while on reconnaissance by a Vanduul RIF group. Blackbox data retrieved from the wreckage indicated that the crew fought valiantly and were able to eliminate several enemy fighter-bombers before suffering a crippling torpedo hit to the engine room that flooded the ship with radiation and left it unable to fight on. The surviving crew detonated improvised explosives rather than allow the disabled spacecraft to fall into enemy hands.[1]
Trivia
- The UEE Military chose to name the initial wave (Flight I) of Hammerheads after sea life from around the Empire.
