Ticonderoga flight II when?

>>32360446
I wish.

If for no other reason than the name Ticonderoga is like aural sex

>>32360446
Somewhere out there in an alternate universe...

>Deleted the aft 5 inch gun.
>More VLS space
>Ticos now carry 186 VLS tubes with provisions for one more CIWS mount.

They should just buy Chinese.

>>32360446
You posted a picture of a Flight II.

Flight I's had swing arm launchers instead of Mk41 VLS and have all been retired.

>>32360446
Tico replacement is slated for 2030s. It'll be awhile before you hear about the replacement program.

Arleigh Burke is overstressed with modern equipments. USA needs another big hull like the Ticos.

>>32360763
Ticos and Burkes are roughly the same size.

Swing arm launchers were restarted. What were they thinking?

>>32360947
You can carry a lot more missiles
But there are far more cons than pros

>>32360446
Why do they call a ship a flight?

>>32360947
They were thinking that reliable VLS systems hadn't been invented yet.

ticos' are fucking useless

How expensive would a new built cruiser be? 3-4 billion each?

Not much point to that

>>32361920
cos it's flyin' straight atcha like cleopatra, DOPE

>>32360463
Seriously. I'd totally name my kid Ticonderoga.
Say that it's Indian for great protector or some shit.

>>32360763
Ticonderoga class was originally a destroyer hull.

Shit is basically the same.

>>32365120
That redesignation was a tragedy. The next class should be 15000 tons.
