'''{{hms|Gallant|CL-315|hcn}}''' was a [[Valiant-class]] [[Light Cruiser]] within [[Third Fleet]]. Commanded by [[]] , ''Gallant'' claimed [[wikipedia:Asheville, NC|Asheville, NC]] as her charter city.

==History==
HMS ''Gallant'' initially commissioned under then-[[Commander]] Sherman Day in April of 2015 based out of [[wikipedia:Michigan City, IN|Michigan City, IN.]], she was initially assigned to [[Second Fleet]] as an upgrade from {{hms|Hotspur|DD-02|hcn}}, which was returned to [[Royal Manticoran Reserve Fleet|Active Reserve]] at this time.<ref name="BuShips Directive 1504-07">[[BuShips Directive 1504-07]]</ref> Continuing ''Hotspur'''s legacy of not being content to rest upon one's laurels, the crew of ''Gallant'' led the ship to become a founding member of Light Cruiser Division 651 in Third Fleet, that August: ''Gallant'' became the flagship for the division, joined therein by {{hms|Odin|CL-101}} and {{hms|Apollo|CL-80}}.<ref name="ND15AU05">[[Naval Directive 15AU-05]]</ref> This was not to last, however, as the crews of ''Gallant'' and ''Odin'' merged in March of 2016, commissioning {{hms|Demon|CLAC-62}} and returning both light cruisers to the Active Reserve.<ref name="BuShips Directive 1603-11">[[BuShips Directive 1603-11]]</ref>

''Gallant'' recommissioned in Third Fleet in July of 2017 under Commander Aiden Alexander, returning {{hms|Juno|BC-726|hcn}} to Active Reserve.<ref name="BSD170705">[[BuShips Directive 1707-05]]</ref> Keeping with the tradition of the hull, she was assigned to Task Group 32.2 scant days later.<ref name="ND17JUL03">[[Naval Directive 17JUL-03]]</ref> Sadly, in late March of 2020, ''Gallant'' decommissioned, returning once more to the Active Reserve.<ref name="BuShips Directive 2004-05">[[BuShips Directive 2004-05]]</ref>
