The USS Ticonderoga CG-47 is notable in modern naval history for pioneering integrated air defence systems. Initially classed as a guided missile destroyer, it was redesignated a cruiser in 1980 and became the first ship fitted with the AEGIS Weapons System.
Ticonderoga class vessels carry vertical launch systems enabling precision strike capability with TOMAHAWK missiles, backed by AEGIS radar and undersea warfare assets. The Hobby Boss 82501 captures the vessels main features in miniature form for enthusiasts who appreciate naval architecture.
Accurate shapes and scale proportions give this kit solid display value. Model builders who focus on historical fidelity will find the assembly rewarding and suitable for cabinet presentation.
