The Ticonderoga-Class Cruiser is a class of guided-missile cruisers used by the United States Navy. Designed for multi-role missions, these ships are equipped with advanced radar and weapon systems, including the Aegis Combat System, which allows them to engage in air, surface, and subsurface warfare. They typically displace around 9,600 tons and are 567 feet long. These cruisers serve as key components of naval strike groups, providing air defense and supporting ground forces. The Ticonderoga-Class is named after the Battle of Ticonderoga during the American Revolutionary War and has been in service since the 1980s, with several ships still active today.
