UNSC Grafton (Earth-5875)

"The Grafton is dust! We need to get out of here, now!"

- - Carter-A259

The UNSC Grafton (HCS FFG-318) was a Paris-class heavy frigate of the UNSC Navy that fought during the Fall of Reach.

History
On August 12th, 2552, at the Battle at Szurdok Ridge, during the Fall of Reach, the UNSC Grafton provided ground support for battalions of the UNSC Marine Corps fighting Covenant troops at Viery, alongside the UNSC Saratoga. After Noble Team lowered the shields of a Covenant spire codenamed Spire One, the Grafton was authorized to use its Magnetic Accelerator Cannon to destroy the spire.

Seconds after destroying Spire One, however, the CSO-class supercarrier Long Night of Solace emerged from its cloak, emerged at the Szurdok Ridge, and efortlessly destroyed the Grafton with its energy projector in a single shot.
