Ticonderoga Class Cruiser

And now for your pleasure...another cool shot, this time of the USS Lake Champlain, a Ticonderoga Class Cruiser (CG 47). These are designed to deliver quite a bit of firepower and later versions have a Vertical Launch System (VLS) that can accommodate up to 127 missles- either Standard Surface-to-Air Missle, Tomahawk, and ASROC in any combination- ready for instant launch. These ships are typically part of carrier battle groups.
