CG-47 is also the USS.Ticonderoga, the lead ship in her class, beside her sister (save the one with the blacked out numbers (hmm odd huh...)) the USS Thomas S. Gates (CG-51)

Thats correct, alongside USS Edson is DD-931 USS Forrest Sherman.

CG-47 is indeed the Ticonderoga, CG-48 Yorktown, CG-51 Thomas S. Gates and DD-968 Arthur W. Radford.

@AVG -> I was like a kid in a candy story.. I love this museum.
Jets, warbirds, bombers, commercial planes, spacestuff.. just awesome.

DC was also great. WW2, Korea and Vietnam memorial are really impressive

Yep, just when you think no one gives a crap you see first hand the memorials on the mall in Washington and the care taken to restore the aircraft and ships. The new Air and Space Museum is just great. I have been twice. There is more coming as well. The aircraft are being restored in Hyattsville MD were they have sat since WW2. Cool stuff the Smithsonian does.

I think it has to do with the difference between inactive duty an sold for scrap.
