		In the late 19th Century the term 'cruiser' came to mean ships designed to fulfill such a role, and from the 1890s to the 1950s a 'cruiser' was a warship larger than a destroyer but smaller than a battleship.
		The other principal type of cruiser was the sloop, but many other miscellaneous types of ship were used as 'cruisers'; at this stage the designation meant a role rather than a type of craft.
		Unarmoured cruising warships, built out of wood, iron, steel or a combination of those materials, remained popular until towards the end of the 19th century.The ironclad's armour often mean that it was limited to a short range under steam, and many ironclads were unsuited to long-range missions or for work in distant colonies.

	Cruiser at AllExperts
		Against the German pocket battleship (heavy cruiser) Graf Spee one heavy and two light British cruisers were able to split the fire of her heavier guns and although damaged, trail her to port where she was subsequently scuttled rather than risk battle again.
		Cruisers were also attached to the main battlefleet and used for reconnaissance, sweeping ahead of the fleet looking for the enemy.
		Light cruisers were defined to be armed with 6.1 in (155 mm) guns or smaller and heavy cruisers to be armed with larger calibers, 8 in (203 mm) being particularly common.

		In the Gulf, the cruisers will use their AEGIS radar to oversee the skies in an escort role for the carriers and may be called upon to provide naval gunfire support to troops on the shore.
		Cruisers in the Gulf were successful in their primary role of protecting the fleet from air attack.
		However, one cruiser, the U.S.S. Princeton, one of the newest ships in the fleet, was seriously damaged by a mine and had to be towed out of the region for repairs.

		Cruiser construction went on in the shipyard as it continued to build the second, third, and fourth TICONDEROGA Class cruisers.
		TICONDEROGA sailed from Pascagoula in February, truly "Combat Ready," with a demanding schedule ahead, and with the knowledge that her systems, construction, and the TICONDEROGA men who man her are the very best.
		Ticonderoga returned to the combat area in late May. For the remaining two and a half months of the Pacific War, her planes made regular attacks on the Japanese home islands.

	Ticonderoga class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ticonderoga class cruiser is a class of warships in the US Navy, first ordered and authorized in FY 1978.
		The class use phased-array radar; the increased combat capability offered by the Aegis combat system and the AN/SPY-1 radar system justified the changing of the classification of Ticonderoga and Yorktown from DDG (guided missile destroyer) to CG (guided missile cruiser).
		Due to the cluttered superstructure of the ships, inherited from the Spruance class destroyers they were derived from, two of the radar transcievers are mounted on a special pallet on the portside aft corner of the superstructure, with the other two mounted on the forward starboard corner.

		This compared to $19 million for a Perry class frigate (a smaller warship), $26 million for a Burke class destroyer (the successor to the Spruance) and $35 million for a Ticonderoga class cruiser (a slightly larger ship built on a lengthened Spruance hull).
		Like the following Ticonderoga Class AEGIS cruisers, the Kidds were built on a modified Spruance hull, and the class was originally designed for the littoral conditions of the Persian Gulf.
		The Burke Class, which first entered service in 1991, and is still under construction, has more anti-air capability (because of its Aegis radar system), than the Spruance, and is cheaper and easier to operate, even though it is about the same size in terms of displacement and crew.

	CGN-81 Charleston class Nuclear Missile Cruiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The time which the old missile cruisers were being decommissioned was one of reduced budgets and many politicians felt that the Burke and later classes of destroyers could fill the role.
		A similar design criteria was used for the previous Ticonderoga class cruiser which shared the same hull and lower levels of the superstructure to the Spruance class destroyer.
		Cruise missiles are usually used against hardened fixed targets, long range missiles are normally used against aircraft and other large targets, and medium range missiles are normally used against closer targets such as incoming missiles.

		Ticonderoga arrived at the launch point early in the afternoon of the 13th and sent her planes aloft to blanket Japanese airbases on Luzon while Army planes took care of those in the central Philippines.
		Ticonderoga's winter deployment of 1965 and 1966 was her first total combat tour of duty during American involvement in the Vietnam War.
		Ticonderoga concluded the deployment, a highly successful one for she received her third Navy Unit Commendation for her operations during that tour of duty, when she left Subic Bay on 4 September 1969.

	CG-47 Ticonderoga
		The foundation of Ticonderoga’s capabilities — and the surface warships that followed — is the Aegis combat system, which coordinates the operation of all sensors and weapons.
		Ticonderoga made the first deployment of an Aegis warship in October 1983, a tense period at the height of the Cold War.
		Aegis cruisers protected U.S. and coalition ships operating within the tight confines of the Arabian Gulf and acted as a linchpin in coalition maritime air defense operations.

	The Ticonderoga (CG 47) - Class
		The hull and the propulsion system of the SPRUANCE class were the basis for this new class of guided missile ships but AEGIS and numerous other installations caused an increase of the displacement of almost 1,000 tons.
		The TICONDEROGA - class cruisers were the first surface combatant ships equipped with the AEGIS Weapons System, the most sophisticated air defense system in the world.
		During the construction of the SPRUANCE class destroyers there was a contract that Ingalls had to deliver the ships ready for commissioning.

		The keel of the first of this class of starship was laid down in Mars Orbit in June of 2187, and would be christened U.A.S. Ticonderoga in honor of the starship that turned the tide of battle during the Klinshaya attack on Terra in 2180.
		The Icarus class was the first full sized Terran warship to have a hyperspace engine installed, the technology of the time requiring that the antimatter reactor and hyperdrive engine be installed in the detachable pod beneath the main hull on the weapon sail.
		While not as large or as heavily armored as the Ticonderoga class, the Deathwing does enjoy an acceleration and maneuverability advantage and may prove to be a tough opponent in any future conflicts.

	CG47 - Ticonderoga Class Guided Missile Cruiser
		The Ticonderoga uses the same gas turbine propulsion system as the Spruance, though it lacks hull stabilizers and is equipped with supplemental Kevlar armor to provide additional protection in critical areas.
		With 27 cruisers slated for construction over a period of 14 years, construction was broken up into four separate "blocks" to take advantage of technological advancements.
		The class' ASW capabilities are improved with the addition of the SQQ-89(V)3 towed passive sonar array.

		The USS Paul Hamilton, (DDG-60) is the third of its class to be assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet, with home port in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
		Like the larger Ticonderoga class cruisers, the combat systems center in Arleigh Burke destroyers is built around the Aegis combat system and SPY-1D, multi-function phased array radar.
		Designed for survivability, the Burke class incorporates all-steel construction and many damage control features that are a direct result of lessons learned during the 1981 Falkland Islands War, and from the May 1987 accidental attack on the USS Stark (FFG 31)in the Persian Gulf.

	Transforming the Navy's Surface Combatant Force
		The reason is that Option I would retain the Spruance class destroyers--which each carry 61 VLS cells (normally armed with Tomahawks)--through their 35-year service life.
		With the final retirement of the Iowa class battleships, however, the largest gun on a Navy ship was 5 inches and 54 caliber, with a range of about 13 nautical miles.
		If the average age for a class of surface combatants remains within the half-life range, that indicates that the force is being replaced relatively steadily.

		She was also the first American cruiser since the end of World War II to built entirely new from the keel, up, and, when completed, boasted the highest bridge in the world.
		They are often referred to as 'short-hulls' as the subsequent Gearing class DD's were essentially the same as the Sumner class except for a 14 foot extension inserted into the middle of the hull.
		The resulting Tacoma class could be distinguished from British River class vessels by the prominent pole foremast (River class frigates had a tripod foremast) and heavier gun armament.

	Virginia class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Virginia-class nuclear guided missile cruisers (CGN-38 class) were a series of four double-ended (with armament carried both fore and aft) guided missile cruisers commissioned in the late 1970s, which served in the US Navy through early to mid 1990s.
		Following the end of production of the class, the Navy continued destroyer production, and redesignated the DDG-47 class of Aegis guided missile destroyers as CG-47 Ticonderoga class cruisers.
		Three of the four ships were authorized as guided missile frigates (pre-1975 definition) and redesignated as cruisers either before commissioning or before launch; the last, Arkansas, was authorized, laid down, launched and commissioned as a guided missile cruiser.

	Welcome to Maritime Replicas
		The Ticonderoga class-- using the highly successful Spruance hull-- was initially designated as a Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG); but was re-designated as a Guided Missile Cruiser (CG) on January 1, 1980.
		The Ticonderoga class was the first surface combatant ships equipped with the AEGIS Weapons System—the most sophisticated air defense system in the world.
		Technological advances in the Standard Missile coupled with the AEGIS combat system in Ticonderoga class cruisers and the upgrading of older cruises has increased the AAW capability of surface combatants.

		Cruise Missile Support Agencies as well will update mission profiles of Tomahawk missiles, and send these missions as necessary to the ships and submarines in theater.
		If terrorist groups in that country are identified as the perpetrators of the recent attacks in New York and Washington, their location, training camps, designated safe havens, operations facilities, or residences of leadership would all be considered as likely targets.
		The USS Cowpens, a Ticonderoga Class cruiser home ported in Yokosuka, Japan, got underway Sunday (9/16/01) to probably join the battle groups in the Indian Ocean.

	Cruiser Summary
		Light cruisers were defined to be armed with 6.1 in (155 mm) guns or smaller and heavy cruisers to be armed with larger calibers, 8 in (203 mm) being particularly common.
		This battlecruiser role was achieved by building a vessel which had the size and firepower of a battleship but only the armor protection of a cruiser; the weight saving used to provide it with more powerful propulsion.
		The most recent ships of this type, the four Kirovs, were built in the 1970s and 1980s, and, with the exception of the newest in the class, RFS Pyotr Veliky, are in poor repair today.
