Ticonderoga class
Country: 
United StatesManufacturer: Ingalls / Bath Iron Works
The Ticonderoga class is a US guided-missile cruiser family built around the Aegis combat system. Early ships used twin-arm launchers, while later ships, including the illustrated USS Monterey, incorporated vertical launch systems.
Displacement, dimensions, speed, range and crew are omitted rather than mixing load conditions, refits or ship-specific standards. No radar range, acoustic performance or magazine figure is stated.
Tomahawk is linked for the later vertical-launch configuration. Harpoon Block II and SM-6 are not inferred from generic Harpoon or Standard Missile family references.

Historical profile
USS Ticonderoga was commissioned in 1983. The later vertical-launch configuration began with USS Bunker Hill; this distinction prevents the lead ship year from being mistaken for the illustrated ship's commissioning date.
