Comments
large cruiser proposed to complement ticonderoga class ships. Got canceled in the early 80s. Would also be really nice to have refits for the 90s 2000s and 2010s if possible. Mainly seeing better datalinks and sensors being added to the ships. (up to and including spy 6 would be cool). And possibly a VLS version which couldve had up to 256 mk41 vls tubes.
