USS Ticonderoga (DDG/CG-47), nicknamed \"Tico\", wasa guided-missile cruiser built for the United States Navy. She was the leadship of the Ticonderoga-class and the first U.S. Navy combatant to incorporatethe Aegis combat system. Originally ordered as a guided-missile destroyer, shewas redesignated as a cruiser after capabilities from the cancelled Strikecruiser program were implemented into the ship\'s design.[3] The new AEGISsystem allowed Ticonderoga to track and engage many aerial targets more effectivelythan any previous U.S. Navy warship.

Ticonderoga entered service in 1983 and deployed later thatyear to the Mediterranean.[4] Over her first ten years of service, Ticonderogadeployed multiple times to the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans andthe Persian Gulf. During Operation Desert Storm, she was attached to BattleForce Zulu and served as Arabian Gulf Track Coordinator.[4] Although she wasbuilt with a 35 year service life, the limited missile capacity ofTiconderoga\'s twin Mark 26 missile launch systems rendered her obsolete by theend of the Cold War. As a result Ticonderoga adopted a primary mission ofcounter-narcotics in the 1990s and 2000s and made multiple patrols of theCaribbean in that role.

After being decommissioned in 2004, Ticonderoga was storedat the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility in Philadelphia. She arrived inBrownsville, Texas for scrapping in 2020.(wiki)
