GNS Ephraim

GNS Ephraim was a Joseph-class destroyer of the Grayson Space Navy.
== Service History ==
Built as a Flight IV Chanson-class vessel by the Star Kingdom of Manticore, Ephraim was one of three destroyers that were provided to Grayson in a military assistance package between 1903 and 1904 PD. The ships were redesignated as the Joseph-class, and named Joseph, Manasseh, and Ephraim. ()
She was among the first to have a female officer candidate, namely Midshipwoman Claire Bedlam Lecroix, aboard. Captain Ayres did not approve of her presence, and soon had her promoted and transferred to the Manasseh. A short time later, the Ephraim was destroyed while docked at the Blackbird Yard when the space station was destroyed by the Mesan Alignment Navy's Operation Oyster Bay. None of her crew survived. ()
