History
HMS Gallant initially commissioned under then-Commander Sherman Day in April of 2015 based out of Michigan City, IN., she was initially assigned to Second Fleet as an upgrade from HMS Hotspur (DD-02), which was returned to Active Reserve at this time.[1] 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 and HMS Apollo.[2] This was not to last, however, as the crews of Gallant and Odin merged in March of 2016, commissioning HMS Demon and returning both light cruisers to the Active Reserve.[3]
Gallant recommissioned in Third Fleet in July of 2017 under Commander Aiden Alexander, returning HMS Juno (BC-726) to Active Reserve.[4] Keeping with the tradition of the hull, she was assigned to Task Group 32.2 scant days later.[5] Sadly, in late March of 2020, Gallant decommissioned, returning once more to the Active Reserve.[6]
