Ticonderoga Class Guided Missile Cruiser (Bunker Hill CG-52 Subclass)
The Ticonderogas were designed to be the state-of-the-art replacements of the outdated Cold War Spruance Class. 27 Ticonderogas have been completed. The first 5 of the class, including the Ticonderoga, were decommissioned early. Their lack of a VLS (vertical launch system), made them obsolete. The 22 active vessels are slated to serve until they each reach the end of their individual life expectancies. Although, with the proposed dry docking and overhaul, they would be able to serve longer.
Length - 567ft
Displacement - 9,600-9,800 tons
Propulsion - 4 GE gas turbine engines, 2 rudders, 2 reversible-pitch propellers
Range - 6,000 nmi
Performance - 32.5 knots
Compliment - 30 officers, 300 enlisted
Armament - 2x61-cell Mk 41 VLS, 8 Harpoon launchers, 2x5in Mark 45 guns, 2x25mm Mark 38 guns, 2 Phalanx CIWS, 2 Mark 32 triple torpedo launchers
Deployable Vehicles - 2 SH-60 Seahawks, inflatable dinghies
Well, one more down. This one was pretty fun to revisit. I fixed a bunch of issues from my first version, and the only thing still bothering me is that main mast. Other than that, I’m quite happy with this design. Next, I will be moving on to the Whidbey Island Class dock landing ship.
