The Ticonderoga class is a class guided missile cruisers in service with the United States Navy. They were first ordered and authorized in the 1978 fiscal year. One of the main characteristics of the ships in this class is that they use passive phased-array radar. Another interesting fact is that they were originally planned as a class of destroyers.
