The USS Ticonderoga is the lead ship of her class, being a guided missile cruiser (CG) designed and built by the US Navy. Overall 27 units have been built, of which 17 are still active.The high amount of missiles carried and the modern AEGIS System makes the class highly capable despite the age.
Ticonderoga CG-47 was laid down in 1980, launched in 1981 and entered service in 1983. Within her short carreer she saw several cruises and even fired some active shots during some deployments. Like most modern warships, large scale battles werent seen and she returned to the US for decommissioning in 2004. Efforts to keep her as an museum were made but failed, which resulted in her being towed to the breakers in 2020.
If you face issues with the model, have questions or want to propose some changes, please reach out to me, I am always happy to help. I am also open for suggetions for new ships which I havent done yet, as I am looking to expand my catalogue of ships.
This model is available for purchase on CGTrader
