[edit] Named Vessels
- CGBS Fire Fang - Part of a Clan Ghost Bear squadron operating in the Deep Periphery encountered by Task Force Serpent, the Fire Fang was captured relatively intact by the Inner Sphere force and survived the assault on Huntress. Gifted to ComStar, the Fire Fang was assigned to the Com Guard First Fleet at Luyten 68-28 until it was captured by the Word of Blake. Serving as part of the Blakist's defense of Tukayyid, the Ghost Bears finally avenged the Fire Fangs loss.
[edit] Related WarShips
- Block I Davion-class destroyer - the bastard child of the Federated Suns Navy, Prince Alexander Davion leased, then sold all surviving Block I Davion-class destroyers to the Star League Defense Forces. These ships were stripped and re-armed, creating the original Whirlwind-class vessels, becoming the blueprint for later Whirlwind production.
