USS Ticonderoga (CG -47) was built 27 of the classroom of the same name and was the first of 22 active cruisers - Ticonderoga. The units of this type have been designed and built to significantly increase the combat capabilities of the US navy, and on the other hand to replace the Virginia -class cruisers. Ticonderoga ships are different from their predecessors in many elements. First of all, they have a classic provocation based on four gas turbines instead of an atomic drive, as in the Virginia class; This significantly reduces operating costs. In addition, they have a completely modified interior architecture and the shape of superstructures, which makes the appearance of cruisers in this class similar to the SPUANCE class resuce. Thirdly, this type of cruisers have a revolutionary AEGIS network battle system, which cooperates with An / Spy-1 radar, which provides unprecedented opportunities to control the airspace and to resist air targets. Ships in this class also have comprehensive anti -submarine (ZOP) and surface anti -submarine capabilities. The leading ship of this class is USS Ticonderoga (CG-47). The ship was built in Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula. USS Ticonderoga belongs to the development line of class cruisers called Baseline 0. This means that the cruiser has the oldest versions of the AEGIS system and the Spy-1A radar during launch. 26, VLS MK.41 was not launcher and only one helicopter could be used. Shortly after the USS Ticonderoga was put into service, in 1987-1988, he joined the Earnest Will Operation in the Gulf of Basra. In the 1990s, the cruiser was deployed in Pascagoula and was appointed to the Atlantic fleet. The cruiser also joined the Deny Flight Operation, which lasted from 1993 to 1995.
