Silva is taking over the cruiser while the MC is taking over PoA, not while he is rescuing Keyes. On page 316 of The Flood, it says: "Major Silva stood at what amounted to parade rest, feet spread, hands clapsed behind his back, as he looked out over the landing pads while the men and women under his command made final preparations for the assault on the Covenant ship Truth and Reconciliation." Thus, it is the same ship, definitely. Also, the section The Maw starts on page 309, so it is definitely while the MC is on PoA.
