I remember when these were being built at Ingalls shipbuilding in Pascagoula. You’d see cars all the time with bumper stickers that stated: Attention Admiral Gorshkov, Aegis is at sea! That was after Gorshkov said the USSR was going to make the worlds oceans their private lake. Ahh.......The good old Cold War. Those were the days.
Yea but Russians are not the threat to US right now, Chinese navy is, either US need new cruiser to face Type 055 or some heavy and expensive upgrade of Ticonderoga class. Instead o fupgrading this ships till new class enter, US navy is retiring them, interesting.
The US navy was superior in naval aviation but there is no denying that the soviet submarine force and surface fleet were probably the best in the world. US navy started arming their ships with missiles only in 1980s while soviet ships were armed with missiles for decades. The US only caught up after the USSR collapsed in 1991.
I tell my Sailors all the time. The Ticos are literally the old Spruance class destroyers with the top cut off and an AEGIS suite put on top lol. AEGIS is so awesome Congress will make a mistake getting rid of the CGs without a platform genuinely able to replace them. DDGs aren't going to cut it not from an AAW perspective.
@@christophertheconqueror8751 Why not build a Cruiser level AEGIS suite onto a Arleigh Burke hull like they've done with the Ticonderoga from the Spraunce? I've been wondering this for awhile now.
We had it good on Ticos, hell we had AC vent in every single rack. More fresh water then we could ever use, was actually pretty nice. Also Tico is 4ft longer 563 for DDG. 567 for Tico
I was watching a video just the other day and there were actually 7 of these girls scrapped in Philadelphia, and a blind man could tell that they weren’t just decommissioned either... They had been there for quite some time! But when you look at the “Official Naval Vessel Register”;they are all still being counted in our present 490 ship Navy..... Somebody’s trying to pull the wool over our eyes.... I’d venture to guess that we’re nowhere the actual 490 vessel count. Have a great day!
I sever on a Spruance class destroyer and always loved the Tico class cruisers! I served on USS THORN DD 988 and it didn’t get VLS until after I left ship.
The Ticonderoga’s were the most technologically advanced cruisers at the time. They may still well be. There are some still in service but they were eventually replaced by the Arleigh Burke Class ships.
Very good warships, but are very old now.............11 of the 22 are due to be retired between 2022-2026. Question is what is the US Navy going to replace them with??
Good question. It's 2021 and USN have better have figured the answer out! I hope more cruisers with improved stealth. I don't know if a nuclear powered cruiser could be in the works. Very unlikely I guess.
Upgraded and integrated aegis systems with the arleigh Burke class destroyers and don't forget about the Ohio class submarines you know a task force always got two of those with them at all times the smaller lighter carriers with the F-35 lightnings some things are getting redundant with age I was on a Knox class destroyer escort for 4 years they sold all of them or scrapped them to Mexico how things change with technology GO Navy
Not DDGs I can tell you that. The Navy needs to start building the upgraded version of the Ticos now. Having served on both a Tico and a Burke (flight I) I can definitively say. As awesome as DDGs are they just aren't equipped for the AAW commander role. Not for prolonged periods anyway.
My ship is a Tico and is being rebuilt probably won't be out of the yards for a few more years. I know of 5 cruisers that are being decommed this year.
Funny how both Russia and China protest whenever an Aegis ballistic missile defense system turns up within a thousand miles of their missile defense network:)
Russia has already stated that the SM-3 is threat to their ICBMs and SLBMs. According to them, the US is hiding the fact that SM-3 can intercept ballistic missiles in all phases of flight, boost , mid course and terminal. The USN improvements to both the SM-3 and SM-6 is why both China and Russia are rushing hypersonic weapons
Wow! I had no clue. During the Vietnam War, I was aboard USS Joseph Strauss DDG-16. We escorted USS Tigonderoga, the carrier, CV-14 off Yankee Station.
I like the Ticos but, unfortunately I don't see them being around for more than another 15 years. I don't think that there will be a new class as a replacement. The restart of the Burkes, I think , sealed their fate. The only real advantage is that the Tico can carry more missiles.
On 14 May The Black sea urgently awaits competent, cruisers. Turkey has closed airspace to Russia. Is 5th fleet nearest? Nuclear Blackmail by Putin is more remote, as Generals he fired yesterday cannot vote to support it.
Good thing about interconnected operations is they can still get their target data from more modern units (like an Arleigh Burke Destroyer or even Allied foreign ships like a British Daring-class Destroyer or a German Sachsen-class Frigate) and still bring their massive Arsenal to bear.
@@Nerval-kg9sm Better to have a gun and not need it and not have it. At some point, you will be out of missiles and without a gun, you're just another target. A 57mm gun is going to come up short against a Chinese frigate with a 76mm or bigger gun.
Dude, these weapons control themselves, guided by the most advanced satellite and radar systems in the world that can send signals in milliseconds. You underestimate these weapon systems. The United States is good at shooting things down.

@@KillerofWestoids pretty much agree,
One of these needs to be preserved. It was such a serious example of Merica.
Beautiful ships, nothing better than seeing “the shield “ 1/2 mile from the carrier, doing her job
They sure did fit a lot onto and into that shortened Spruance class hull. It must be pretty tight onboard a Tico.

It is depending what part of the ship you go in. I'm glad I'm not a GS as an EM we chill in the electrical shop or tool issue all day lol.

@@terrestrialextra4790the Burkes are very capable, better RADAR then the cruiser, not as many VLS tubes 90 vs 122 I think but still a beast.

Badass man, cool video! US navy is the best in the world.
eh..........what about the Swiss Navy?
@@scrmepal Lol thats funny
For the moment, but with speed Chinese navy is growing, not for long.
The first 5 Ticos were never upgraded with VLS, and in fact, have been scrapped.

They turn the USS Vincennes into a coral reef artificial

I was a plank owner on the Deyo. 989
I love this class of destroys.
Cruiser not destroyer.
Cruisers not Destroyers
I served on two they were great ships.
Ya I was on the 47 and the 49
@@scottsmith9438was on 58, long long ago
Awesome we all love upgrades
These are such great ships and will make it 2050
No, they won't.
I wonder if the Ticonderoga class will ever field supersonic anti ship missiles
The Ticonderoga’s were the most technologically advanced cruisers at the time. They may still well be. There are some still in service but they were eventually replaced by the Arleigh Burke Class ships.
YOU DO YOU MILITARY! BECAUSE YOU ARE WE!!!
LETS GO INGALLS! I work there
Do the Arleigh Burke class next! Then when you're done researching ask yourself why these CGs are still around.
Mk = Mark.
Aegis = AAegis
Solid Video!
And it's not "yo-ko-suka" lol.
Well before long it will be all destroyer and no more cruisers.

Yup I’m on the USS Antietam and she needs to be put down.
sounds like we need to also keep the Ticonderoga class and upgrade them as needed
Wow we need 30 of these ships. Ten for each island groups in the Philippines. XD
@Gen Vuelham What alternatives to we have to counter CN's bullying in the WPS? XD
@Gen Vuelham we need more than that but we don't have a leverage.
On 14 May The Black sea urgently awaits competent, cruisers. Turkey has closed airspace to Russia. Is 5th fleet nearest? Nuclear Blackmail by Putin is more remote, as Generals he fired yesterday cannot vote to support it.
Sad part is that ANY Ship can be Sunk. I served in Uncle Sam's Canoe Club as we called the U.S. Navy in the 60's. I know all too well.
Blue water navy becoming very vulnerable. What we need are many more submarines as well as mobile ICBM.
So the Tico class have a command control center for the anti warfare officer of the battle group, also a larger VLS capacity and a second 5 inch gun
Why are us navy not keeping these?? Aren't they needed now more than ever???
We in 🇬🇧 could do with a few of these
do these have all inclusive crews? I heard instead of weapons they have the best diversity and CRT facilities in the world
When I was on one no we did not have any diversity requirements glad I got out before all the BS.
There are four antenna arrays, not two.
They'll be submarines like the Moskva
😇U.S.A.😇😇SAN MIGUEL ARCANGEL😇
Shows Russian Ship launching cruise missiles.
Nice math you guys pulled off there were 2 ships went to Japan, real classy.
Ah yes. The weirdly hard to pronounce class cruisers.

Modernized
Run, a SS-N-22 Sunburn is coming.
I'm sorry I just hate how it's this big ole ship but has that little 127 mm gun speck on the front.
Agreed. A pair of 6 inch guns would be a bit more appropriate.

Too many technical errors to continue. "Passive phased array radars"? Seriously?
SPY1A was a passive phased array RADAR. What is there to correct?

Aegis is one of reasons why us navy is more superior than chinese tofu navy.🤤🤤🤤🤤😭😭😭
Mehhh.. 1980's tech
any weapon is only as good as the person firing the weapon, so this is only a 50% chance in hitting the target

We need these ships to protect Taiwan well they should just give these ships to the Philippines well their about to be decommissioned anyways
