Launched in 2557, the UNSC Stamford Bridge is part of a second wave of Cavalier-Class Destroyers introduced as part of Project DAINSLIEF, a massive rearmament campaign by the UNSC Navy to increase and modernise its combat forces. Under Commander Lise Thorsdottir, the Stamford Bridge would conduct operations during the War of Vengeance and the Second Great War, eventually retired and converted into a museum ship.
