The Tico Class Cruisers began with the commissioning of the USS Ticonderoga CG 47 in 1983. The first 4 ships in the class had actually been ordered as Guided Missile Destroyers (DDG's), but the Navy foresaw the need for a new class of ship that would provide greater mission flexibilty and improved firepower over the DDG's. The power plants of these ships can produce 80,000 shaft horsepower from a pair of gas turbine engines. Their top speed is rated at over 30 knots. Awesome firepower is their specialty, with each ship carrying a variety of surface-to-surface and anti-ship missiles with 2 - 5" 54 cal. guns. Self defense is accomplished with the 5" guns, 2 Phalanx Close in Weapons Systems (CIWS), and 25mm Bushmaster machine guns. Anti-submarine warfare is carried out using 2 LAMPS helicopters and 6 torpedo tubes. The ship's complement is comprised of 370 officers and enlisted personnel. Most US Navy and Coast Guard ships remain in service for 30+ years. During that time, ships undergo upgrades and changes, usually to their electronic, communication, and weapons systems. In this drawing the TICONDEROGA is configured for 2004, but your print can be drawn for any time period in the ship's life. For that reason, we ask that you provide your "Years of Interest" information, so that Mr. Bieda can portray your ship as she appeared during that time period.
