CG 47 Ticonderoga















The CG 47 Ticonderoga class cruisers were designed to perform anti-air warfare (AAW), anti-surface warfare (ASuW), and anti-ship warfare (ASW) supporting carrier strike groups, amphibious forces, or operating independently and as flagships of surface action groups. These ships can be armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles achieving a long range strike capability. The Ticonderoga-class cruisers were the first US Navy to be equipped with the AEGIS combat system. The SPY-1 radar and the Standard SM-2 missiles give to the Ticonderoga cruisers and unprecedented anti-air warfare capability, even against multiple airborne threats. Ticonderoga cruisers were employed for the first time during operation Desert Storm against Iraq. Since then, the Ticonderoga cruisers have been deployed in several conflicts demonstrating their capabilities as fleet escort and their land-attack capability using Tomahawk cruise missiles.
