'''UEES ''Paul C. Gerwald'' (PCG-4101)''' is a second generation (Flight II) [[Aegis]] [[Hammerhead]] that also known as the famous "ghost ship". The ship was named after the deceased senator [[Paul C. Gerwald]]. In [[2818]], the ship was separated from her unit and supply chain in [[2818]] during long-range reconnaissance in what was then

believed to be [[Vanduul]]-occupied space. Suffering extensive damage to her navigation system and a total jump drive, the crew of the ''Gerwald'' spent eighteen months disconnected from the fleet before a passing explorer managed to scope their short-range beacon. The ''Gerwald's'' story was adapted into a propaganda vid, [[The Iron Will|"The Iron Will"]] although historians quickly noted the ship itself was played by a surplus [[Guine|''Guine''-class]] patrol ship.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/8srns703rujzbr/source/Hammerhead.pdf|text=The Aegis Hammerhead - Ship Brochure}}</ref>
