Year: 2010 Language: English Author: Kurt Greiner Genre: Historical Publisher: Classic Warships Publishing Edition: Warship Pictorial № 35 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 76 Description: The Ticonderoga class of guided-missile cruisers is a class of warships of the United States Navy, first ordered and authorized in the 1978 fiscal year. It was originally planned as a class of destroyers. However, the increased combat capability offered by the Aegis Combat System and the passive phased array AN/SPY-1 radar, together with the capability of operating as a flagship, were used to justify the change of the classification from DDG (guided-missile destroyer) to CG (guided-missile cruiser) shortly before the keels were laid down for Ticonderoga and Yorktown.
