Ticonderoga vs Arleigh Burke Flight II

Sea Demon · 06-22-06, 08:11 PM

Both ships are multi-mission capable with the abilities to conduct ASuW, ASW, Deep Strike Warfare (Land Attack missiles), Marine Amphibious support, Search and Rescue, AAW, Sea Control & Deterrence, etc. etc........all simultaneously.....

The only thing I believe Ticonderoga gives over Arleigh Burke is the SM-3 and the ability to conduct anti-ballistic missile warfare. I'm not sure if any Arleigh Burkes are equipped for this. And yes, the Tico carries much more in terms of missile magazine capacity.

Looking forward to any more thoughts.......................
