Project history: This series, based on the Spruance hull form, is the result of a very lenghty evolution. The Aegis air defence system was originally designed for installation aboard a nuclear frigate (later redesignated cruiser) such as the California. However, when Admiral E. M. Zumwalt Jr became CNO he sought instead a minimum Aegis platform for construction in considerable numbers (DG/Aegis); for a time, it was to have been limited to $100m in FY73 dollars and to 5000t, compared to $45m and 3400t for what became the Perry class frigate. On this basis it would have been limited to a single Mk 22 launcher with 16 missiles, and DG had ro be relaxed to 6000t and $125m. There was to have been a single Mk 26 Mod 2 (64-missile) launcher, with cost rising to $200m by early 1973. Advocates of a conventionally-powered Aegis platform rejected this design as making too little use of the power inherent in the missile control system; advocates of nuclear power rejected it as means of killing off the nuclear ship programme. There was also some scepticism as to the accuracy of the cost estimates for DG/Aegis. Then the Secretary of the Navy asked for studies of a new nuclear version, which eventually became the abortive Strike Cruiser (CSGN) of about 18000t. Given the high cost of such a ship, the Secretary of Defense demanded a mix of nuclear and conventional Aegis ships, and the conventional study was based on the largest existing destroyer-type hull, the Spuance.
The lead ship, Ticonderoga, was authorized under the FY78 programme, at the same time that the nuclear strike cruiser died a political death; it was so large and so important that it was redesignated a cruiser in January 1980. Compared to the strike cruiser, it lacks an 203mm gun and has only a limited capacity for surface-to-surface missiles, two quadruple canisters. From CG 52 they have an enlarged missile capacity (122 as against 88) with vertical launchers, which carry Tomahawk as well as the SM-2 anti-aircraft missile of the Aegis system. Ships carry 36 Mk 46/50/54 torpedoes for helicopters. There is Kevlar protection of vital spaces.
