The US Navy's Ticonderoga-class cruisers, once the pinnacle of naval power, are rapidly aging and decommissioning without effective replacements. Despite their critical role in air defense, the Navy has struggled to modernize or replace them, leading to wasted billions and a looming seapower gap.
With only nine Ticos left, the last three will decommission by 2029, costing $3.7 billion for minimal service extension. The Government Accountability Office criticized the Navy's planning failures, raising concerns about future shipbuilding and modernization efforts.
