Indeed, that is the reason why Garon's command is that particular ship. During the process of arranging for himself to be quietly shuffled into a minor command in the Imperial Navy, he managed to work the system such that a) he would be assigned a new-construction vessel and b) that's what it would be called.

A lot of people in the Gamilon military establishment who aren't in on the succession conspiracy (let's be honest, that's what it is) think it was only through a flagrant abuse of the Navy bureaucracy that so junior and, let's face it, undistinguished an officer as Garon Dessler has been given command of a brand-new, state-of-the-art K'tayyl-class destroyer. And it was! Just not the one they think. :)
