You mentioned yourself that the Truth and Reconciliation was damaged above the Ring.
Perhaps, since she was damaged, the Covenant Fleet command decided it was a good idea to re-allocate her most valuable assets elsewhere in the fleet, until she was fully operational. For example, in Keyes, we saw that the TaR's engine was heavily damaged. Whether that is because of the Flood, or a different assault is yet to be known. Yet, if the Flood was trying to take the ship, why would they damage the engines so extensively? It is reasonable to assume the cruiser was damaged in this matter before the Flood assumed control of it.
That explains the lack of specialized defensive personnel during the first incursion and the relative poor defense of the craft in the first place.
Um... IIRC, that ship is not the true and reconciliation.
Because in the Flood, when the marines arrive, the TaR is in nearly full operational state, and the ship in Keyes was very, very fare from it.
The TaR also had a light flood infestation, the ship in Keyes had a heavy one (nor was any flood mass described in the command center, which is where Keyes was).
Hmmm... perhaps you have a point. In addition to no biomass being in the command center, this the TaR also didn't have a gaping hole in it's flight deck.
However, I find it strange that the Reconciliation also experienced a Flood infestation. As terrified as the Covenant were about the Flood, I doubt they let the Flood capture two ships, no matter the level of contact. If I remember correctly, they evacuated all other ships off the surface of the Ring at that point and the Keyes cruiser was the sole straggler. Additionally, it makes sense tactically for the Marines to attack said craft once a Spartan rampaged through it not once, but twice therefore reducing the Hostiles aboard.
In my opinion, it shouldn't be too far fetched to assume those two ships are one in the same. The least you can do DaeFaron, is not to rule it out.
I'd always assumed (as the strategy guide as well as HaloNation say so) that the ship was indeed the Truth and Reconciliation.
"It is more than likely that the Covenant managed to repair the controls for the Truth and Reconciliation after they were disabled by Cortana due to the fact that the ship is in a completely different location. In addition, the ship could have been moved to an area near a Flood containment facility. Thus, explaining how the ship became once again stationary under extensive damage."
