UEES Xanthe Montes

UEES Xanthe Montes (PCG-4742) is a third generation (Flight III) Aegis Hammerhead assigned to the Third Fleet. The ship was long-serving and during her forty-year service, the XM earned more individual battle stars than any other Hammerhead in history, in addition to twenty-seven other citations. At the time of retirement, her commanding officer, Commander Alex Trayne, had begun his career as a gunner during the XM’s very first assignment. Xanthe Montes’ painted mission board currently resides in the Imperial Aerospace Museum.
