Pentagon will write off half Ticonderoga cruisers

75
One of the foundations of the surface fleet The United States Navy is a Ticonderoga missile cruiser. The ships of this project, capable of carrying a large number of missile, artillery and mine-torpedo weapons, have been used since the beginning of the eighties and solve a wide range of combat missions. Nevertheless, some of these cruisers are already quite old, and therefore in the near future should complete their service. The decommissioning of warships can lead to certain losses in the context of the overall combat effectiveness of the fleet.

The head cruiser USS Ticonderoga (CG-47), after whose name the entire series was named, was laid in the 1980 year and transferred to the Navy at the start of the 1983. In the summer of 1994, the fleet received the last 27 ship of the project. An interesting feature of the Tikonderoga project was the processing of an armament complex. So, the first five cruisers had specialized launchers for missiles of various types. All subsequent ships, starting with USS Bunker Hill (CG-52), equipped with universal vertical launchers Mk 41.




The cruiser USS Bunker Hill (CG-52) - one of the first ships to be withdrawn from the Navy


In 2004-2005, the first five ships of the series, distinguished by less sophisticated means of storing and launching missiles, were withdrawn from the fleet's operational strengths. Others, equipped with universal launchers, continued service. However, in the foreseeable future, the fleet will have to abandon them. Service life of cruisers are approaching the maximum allowable values, which accordingly affects their prospects.

In 2020, the ships USS Bunker Hill (CG-52) and USS Mobile Bay (CG-53), accepted into the US Navy in 1985, will celebrate the 35 anniversary service. At the same time, the maximum lifespan of Ticonderoga type cruisers is determined exactly at the level of 35 years. Thus, the American fleet will have to write them off and then send it for cutting. In addition, the pace of ship deliveries in the eighties of the last century should lead to the gradual abandonment of some of the remaining ships.

The American edition of Defense News not so long ago was able to gain access to a number of documents stipulating the further development of the surface fleet of the United States Navy. According to these papers, the command intends to write off 2026 Ticonderoga missile cruisers up to 11 of the year. Other ships, however, will have to undergo repairs and upgrades, the results of which will be able to continue service for the next few decades.

According to Defense News, in 2020, the ships “USS Bunker Hill (CG-52) and USS Mobile Bay (CG-53)” will be sent to “needles”. In the next 2021, USS Antietam (CG-54) and USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) will be withdrawn from the fleet. In 2022, the service of the cruisers USS San Jacinto (CG-56) and USS Lake Champlain (CG-57) will end. 2023 will pass without cuts, but next year the fleet will remain without the ships USS Philippine Sea (CG-58) and USS Princeton (CG-59). In 2025, USS Normandy (CG-60) and USS Monterey (CG-61) will complete the service. The proposed write-off program for the Ticonderog will end in 2026, along with the removal of the USS Chancellorville (CG-62) from combat.

As a result of this reduction in the composition of the naval forces will remain only 11 cruisers from 27 built. As required, they will undergo repairs and upgrades that will extend the service life beyond the 35 years established for the first ships of the series. According to current plans, the remaining ships, starting with the USS Cowpens (CG-63), will remain in service at least until the mid-thirties. Last ships can only be written off in the mid-forties or later.

For a number of reasons, current plans for the removal of part of cruisers from the fleet have led to disputes at different levels. Such plans, directly related to the state of technology, can have serious consequences in the field of national security. There are certain risks in the context of the quantity and quality of weapons. In addition, there may be problems of an economic nature. The obvious way out of this situation, which allows to get rid of possible problems, is to keep the existing cruisers in the ranks.

Jerry Hendricks, a former US Navy officer and now Center for a New American Security analyst, commented on the current situation and plans as follows. He considers the inclusion of the oldest Ticonderoga cruisers into the Service Life Extension Program repair and upgrading program to be the right scenario. At a minimum, this will be cheaper than building new ships with the required characteristics.


USS Mobile Bay (CG-53)


In addition, J. Hendricks noted certain difficulties associated with the ammunition of modern ships. Vertical launchers of Ticonderoga cruisers can simultaneously carry up to 122 missiles of various types. The only real replacement for such ships at the present time are destroyers of the Arleigh Bukre type, also equipped with Mk 41 installations. However, ammunition destroyers consists only of 96 missiles.

This means that when a destroyer is replaced by a destroyer, the fleet loses a quarter of the available missile cells. According to J. Hendrix, the naval forces really need these cells. "We need mass character - we need capacity."

The Defense News publication quotes Brian McGrath, a security specialist from the analytical organization The FerryBridge Group. He also believes that the decommissioning of old missile cruisers could hit the combat effectiveness of the surface forces of the US Navy. He agrees that including 11 ships in the Service Life Extension Program repair program is the best solution to the problems.

B. McGrath also touched on the topic of finance. He notes that current plans to reduce surface forces clearly speak of the economic problems of the fleet. To create a balanced program of modernization, maintenance, procurement, etc. serious amounts are needed. In this case, however, the command, figuratively speaking, now cuts not the skin and not fat, but the bones of the fleet. The reasons for this lie in the ambiguous policy of the authorities. The new owners of the White House talk about the need to build a fleet of 350 surface ships, but they do not allocate adequate funding. B. McGrath called such actions of the authorities sad and irresponsible, and also urged to stop them.

In accordance with the existing plans, all remaining 22 rocket cruisers of the Ticonderoga type will continue to serve until the 2020 year, after which the oldest representatives of this group will begin to be phased out. Before 2026, 11 ships that served their 35 years would be taken out of service. At the same time, other cruisers will be upgraded, on the basis of which they will be able to continue service until the mid-forties.

The main problem of the planned program of reducing cruisers is the reduction of the total ammunition of the surface fleet with corresponding consequences in the context of its combat effectiveness. Ticonderoga type ships are distinguished by the presence of several launchers with 122 cells for various types of missiles - 26 more than the destroyers Arleigh Burke. It is easy to calculate that during the decommissioning of 11 cruisers, the fleet as a whole will lose its 1342 starting cells. During the construction of X-NUMX, the new destroyers Arly Burk will be able to compensate for most of these losses, but the total ammunition load will be reduced by two and a half hundreds of conventional missiles.

Such losses can be compensated to some extent with the help of new multi-purpose nuclear submarines carrying cruise missiles of the Tomahawk family. However, the potential of such a “compensation” is not too great. Virginia-type submarines, under construction, regardless of the modification, carry only 12 cruise missiles. In addition, the submarines, for obvious reasons, can not carry anti-aircraft missiles of various types that are part of the ammunition surface ships. As a result, destroyers and submarines - with all their advantages - will not be able to fully replace write-off ships of the Ticonderoga type.

The universal Mk 41 launcher can be used to fire missiles of various types. Among others, the ammunition of such a system may include interceptor missiles used as part of an anti-missile defense. It is curious that the future reduction of missile cruisers will not have a negative impact on the development of the US strategic naval missile defense system.


USS Chancellorville (CG-62); his service will end in 2026


In the past, at the stage of developing the necessary projects, the command made a fundamental decision: despite a certain unification of the onboard systems of Ticonderoga cruisers and Arleigh Burke destroyers, the main carriers of the Aegis BMD (Ballistic Missile Defense) anti-missile system will be the last. However, several cruisers also received similar equipment. Five Ticondeur ships equipped with missile defense systems are not yet subject to a reduction program and will be able to continue service in the future.

At the design stage, the service life of the Ticonderoga missile cruisers was limited to 35 for years. The first ships of the series were decommissioned long before the development of the assigned resource, while the remaining ships were already approaching the indicated dates. In accordance with the new plans of the Pentagon, half of the existing cruisers will be upgraded and will continue to serve, and the rest will have to leave the fleet and continue to go for recycling.

The intention to abandon obsolete ships with expiring service does not seem unexpected or surprising. At the same time, however, such logical steps can have serious consequences for the combat capability of the surface fleet. How exactly it is proposed to solve them is not completely clear. Obviously, the lack of deployed missiles will have to be compensated by new ships.

Another interesting consequence of the current plans will be certain difficulties in the course of the desired development of the Navy. In accordance with the instructions of the authorities, in the foreseeable future, the surface grouping of the US Navy should have more than three and a half hundred warships. The implementation of such plans is associated with certain difficulties, and reducing the number of cash ships will further complicate the solution of the task.

It is obvious that the existing grouping of Ticonderoga-type missile cruisers has noticeable problems, and some of these ships may need to be replaced. An equivalent replacement for cruisers, however, is missing. Thus, several specific problems and challenges now face the US command, on the solution of which the further development of the naval forces depends. Several years remain before the launch of the withdrawal of cruisers from service. During this time, the Pentagon can find the best solutions to existing problems that can reduce the negative effects and lead to the desired results. However, negative scenarios cannot be ruled out yet. How events will develop - time will tell.

      It is easy to calculate that when decommissioning 11 cruisers, the fleet as a whole will lose 1342 launch cells. During the construction of 11 new Arly Burke destroyers, most of these losses will be compensated, but the total ammunition will be reduced by two and a half hundreds of conventional missiles.


      Interesting enough. The destroyer is almost close to the firepower of the UVP to the cruiser. It may be more profitable to simply release more destroyers than to leave the cruiser. It is cheaper. Although they know better. Maybe they will launch a new cruiser program, although the destroyers and cruisers have already become so close that some kind of universal class of ships suggests itself that could combine tasks.

        And the difference between the destroyers arly berk and the Ticondergs, which are cruisers, is actually small. Both for the purpose and for the functionality. Therefore, the mattresses are no longer built by the cruiser, but only destroyers are building.

        All this is "mouse fuss." No reduction will occur, because together with 11 destroyers of the Arly Burke class, the fleet will include 3 Zumvolt destroyers with 240 launchers.

    Pentagon will write off half Ticonderoga cruisers

      In fact, it will still cry, because you can’t replace the destroyer of a cruiser, even here it’s elementary - a place for crew and equipment. So, for example, Americans believe that Arly does not fully meet the tasks of the air defense control ship and always tried to use ticonderogs for these purposes, although they are old

          Missiles and radars are fine, but the point is not in them, but in communications, similar equipment of seemingly non-combat significance, workplaces for its operators, etc. Arly was designed as a cheap ticonderog, and it’s clear that this was sacrificed in the first place

      All will not be refunded. Tk except Tikonderoger after 2020, the eligible movers are being written off, plus they will probably be written off converted to zero in Ohio. They are still, despite the repair and refurbishment - the beginning of the 4s of release. Of course, Virginia and Arleigh Burke are being built, but at a slower pace than they will have to be written off. After all, they will write off the generation of ships built at the height of the Cold War in the 80s, when they built a lot and did not spare money for the fleet. Hence the kipesh raised by the Pentagon. Of course, if you compare with us and the Chinese separately, then it seems like nothing to worry about. But the mattresses see that we and the Chinese have passed the lower peak and are gradually growing, and they are declining. That is, the balance of power for them is deteriorating.
      Plus, their allies also do not see anything good. request

        "after 2020, deer elks will begin to be written off, plus they will probably write off converted into zero Ohio 4." - You can ask what write-offs will be in the Russian Navy after 2020? in the melt.
        "Of course, Virginia and Arly Berke are being built, but at a slower pace than they have to write off." - whether it’s the Gorshkov case. The pace and scale.
        “But the mattresses see that we and the Chinese have passed the lower peak and are gradually growing, and they are decreasing. That is, the balance of power for them is deteriorating.” - The Chinese, yes, we are not. How is it getting worse. We will scare almost 70 scores of Berks with raptors and Karakurt? Or another 4 years of modernization by Admiral Nakhimov (God willing, will finish in 2021)?
        "Plus, their allies also have nothing good to do," especially the UK. Two aircraft carriers by 2020 just. And you know, a little more serious than Kuznetsov. Or Australia with Hobart - the destroyer after all.

          It's not clear yet . We can only say with confidence that the last Pike 671RTM (K) and Squid will be written off. The rest was going to modernize. As a result, how many will be modernized, and how much they will simply repair, only time will show. How much they write off, too. request
          We will not frighten sea power number one. And to defend against it is mainly MRK and a dap. For onyx, it is not very important - he was released from an expensive destroyer or a cheap MRK or a Warsaw. THIS IS CALLED ASYMMETRIC RESPONSE. request We will restore the protective function of the fleet - we will begin to restore the offensive. Moreover, the lead destroyer will be built for at least 9 years and in case of a military situation nothing will help us. The war will begin and end while it is on the stocks. Varshavyanki and MRK are being built in less than 2 years, in the event of a military threat, we’ll have time to lay and hand over and build right during the conflict. request
          Britain in the same years will be charged Trafalgar. Astyut change them one by one. On the condition of the British fleet, I advise you to read their own recent press. You will find many interesting things.
          Australia is a problem for China. Moreover, at least 3 frigates of the Adelaide type will be written off to 4 air defense destroyers under construction. hi

            1. "The rest was going to be modernized. How much will eventually be modernized, and how much time will be simply repaired will only time show." - as well as the timing of this modernization. But for now, something like this: https://navy-korabel.livejournal.com/172917.html - "...." Wolf "arrived at the plant more than three years ago (three years, one month and 26 days), and that almost two years after being put into the workshop, equipment is still being dismantled from it. " What will be written off and what to modernize the USA is also unknown.
            2. "And to defend against it - mainly MrK and DEP." - I'm sorry, I do not believe in a mosquito fleet. No air defense, no anti-aircraft defense. This is, in fact, floating batteries (in missile performance), and not a full-fledged fleet. And their number for the “zerg rush” is still not enough (the Americans alone have missile cruisers more than our RTOs). Varshavyanka is not bad, but it's yesterday, you know better than mine. The question with Ladami-Kalina is open (to her, "what do you call a yacht").
            3. "Varshavyanki and MRK are built in less than 2 years" - at least 2 years. And then, about Karakurt, nothing is clear (the main one was laid in December 2015, the change is for 2018). "Vyshny Volochek", if Buyan take it, was laid down in August 2013 and is only now in trials (more than 3 years).
            4. "On the condition of the British fleet, I advise you to read their own recent press." - I do not argue, Royal Navy is far from a cake. However, we were able to implement such a shipbuilding project, which we now cannot even dream of. Just an indicator of potential.
            5. "Moreover, they will be charged with 3 air defense destroyers under construction ..." - again, I do not argue. The question is how many Soviet old people will be written off from us.

              I’m also looking at Shishkin. I do not quite agree, but he has something to read. I also read about the wolf. Therefore, I write that it is unclear how much they will upgrade, and how much will be easy to repair. Plus it is still strongly linked to napl. If it becomes possible to build diesel engines with anaerobic power plants, then the modernization projects of the apl will obviously be revised downward. There can be no exact data here - everything is constantly changing. And what was planned yesterday today is no longer relevant. request
              For air defense and plo there are 2038x corvettes. This is their part of the job. And MRK is a cheap platform for expensive missiles. All their purpose is to shoot their 8 missiles and tear their claws.
              DEPL I would not call a mosquito fleet. Submarines are in service with only a few countries. Plus, recent American exercises, where a Swedish duel was set against their apl, ended not in favor of the states. PM dap has an advantage in protecting its shores. That little, I agree. I would have ordered 6 more Warsaw women for Pacific Fleet and Black Sea Fleet. For BF is doubtful. The depths there are such that it would be more worth building small submarines. And then in the 20th century, the Baltic Sea became a cemetery for submarines. They’re constantly being found. And with the development of airplanes, it’s plain that ordinary submarines have nowhere to turn around in my opinion. request
              Krasnodar was built in a year and a half. Then it was tested for another six months. Coming out for a year and a half on a duel is quite real. To reduce the time of testing a mass project - even more so. The last Buyan-m were built much less than 3 years - then tested. There is where to get along. Karakurt is a new project. Plus, it was amended. The shell was not originally intended. To leave for 2 years from the second production ship is quite realistic. And by the way it was planned. request
              In my opinion, the potential is South Korea and China. And it’s not the construction of an aircraft carrier that testifies to the capabilities of which I am skeptical. And the construction of large ships - bulk carriers, rollers, container ships, gas carriers. Here, in my opinion, is our biggest problem. If gas carriers are still starting to be laid on Zvezda, then we buy bulk carriers, rollers and container ships abroad. And the problem is from the Soviet era. And it must be solved. This is a lot of money going to the development of another industry. If we begin to build such ships, then the capabilities of our military shipbuilding will also increase. request
              I'm not talking about that. that the Syrian express had to buy ships from the Turks. Here in my opinion it is necessary to throw strength. And one or two destroyers or aircraft carriers will not solve our problems. And even a dozen destroyers will not solve them. Moreover, even if we lay them now, we will receive in 9-10 years. hi

                Shishkin is an annoying optimist (like both qualities). I do not agree with everything, but I read :).
                "DEPL I would not call a mosquito fleet." - Of course, I mean Buyan with Karakurt.
                “If it becomes possible to build diesel engines with anaerobic power plants” - this is, so to speak, a nail-question (although there are questions besides torpedoes, for example).
                If they come to Karakurt in a period of 2 years, I will only be glad.
                As for civil shipbuilding - yes, a question. If only I could take the same fishing fleet.
                "... And more about it is not the construction of an aircraft carrier, which I am skeptical of. I’m building the big ships - bulk carriers, roller carriers, container ships, gas carriers." - "Elizabeth" - 70 thousand tons for memory and compared with a container ship - a bunch of technology. So the potential of the military shipbuilding among the British was preserved very much. That implied.
                R.S. - Yes, if it was harsh, I beg your pardon.

                  The fishing fleet is slowly starting to update. A party of trawlers is being built at Yantar, at Pella plus at the Vyborg shipbuilding industry too. I would like more, but the question is twofold. Fishermen want to sell the catch for the cordon, maybe there is more expensive. Then there will be orders for trawlers. To us, the increase in fish prices in FIGs did not fall. PM are looking for a middle ground. To both myself and abroad. hi

          1. The maximum possible firing range. part 1. Of course, along high-altitude trajectories - no problem for a network-centric air defense warrant based on Aegis, which can scale. At least a hundred missiles along such a trajectory run along the order of 4-5 Ajis - not one will fly. It's like shooting a pistol from Saratov to Volgograd ... Empty.

          2. The maximum possible firing range. Part 2. Possible only in the presence of satellite target designation and satellite tracking and correction. What is the same as if missing in principle at the moment ..

          And yes, From a powerful missile system it turns out the same excellent RCC.
          For modern ships, that hit RCC, that hit missiles - one field of berries.
          Moreover, I put more on a powerful missile.
          100% exit of the ship from the battle, due to the destruction of all antennas, "eyes and ears."
          But the board pierced by RCC and damage to a pair of compartments is not a fact that the ship will cease to participate in the battle.

              I left a special clearance for comments
              your arguments were predictable, but just because of your lack of awareness
              Satellite data center for the Navy - there is (!), This is a separate topic for discussion.
              There is also a control center for over-the-horizon radars (see operating principles and performance characteristics of over-the-horizon radars)
              our layered ship air defense is not permeable (!)


              I will answer for you in response to your "thoughts divorced from reality":
              1. A satellite control center for transmitting target designation to missiles - does not currently exist in Russia.
              2. Carrying out the transfer of missiles to missiles on the marching and final sections from over-the-horizon radars - does not exist at the moment, not only in Russia but also in the world.
              do not invent ...

              No impervious air defense.
              A simultaneous and planned missile strike with different trajectories of approach to the target, different types of GOS, different tactics of conducting an attack will “take out” anyone.
              And even the super powerful Peter the Great.
              Joint and planned volley:
              1. dozens of Mald EW-UAVs - will overload the radar of any connection.
              2. Dozens of Harmas and ALARMs with different tactics of approach and strike from aircraft carriers. Some will rush at speeds of 2M directly, while others, at a height of 20 thousand, will go “as if by” and will “look safe” for analysis, only then from a height of 20 kilometers they will dive plumb down onto the target.
              3. the same missiles, the same harpoons. So dozens.
              and all
              They will reload air defense, destroy all radars and then finish off. At least poke a finger.
              Not a single shipboard individual air defense can handle it.
              Only network-centric and scalable air defense will cope with this when all data from all ships is processed in real time, when targets are automatically determined from a single control point, missiles are launched from different ships, and radar target illumination from one ship is used to direct missiles issued from completely different ships. When all this is scaled and computer-controlled - only then is there a chance to say about "serious air defense"

              And we do not have network-centric and scalable naval air defense.
              They tried to make Polyment-Redoubt into an analogue of Amer’s Aegis, but it has not yet been implemented, there are too many technical difficulties.

              Firstly, I am not a troll or Russophobe!
              I'm just getting ready to face the enemy seriously, knowing his strengths and weaknesses.
              You, an ordinary urya-cap-taker who does not possess either a situation or knowledge.
              I will repeat the Capper.
              Not capable of analysis, only complaints.
              The accusation of Russophobia is very serious.

              Secondly.
              Look at the satellite trajectories.
              By numbers they are easy to find on specialized resources.
              See what only 3 satellites are capable of.
              Look at their trajectories.
              And think that they will be able in case of BP ...
              And BP, as usual, does not occur where your satellite is now.
              There should be dozens of these satellites to cover the entire body of water.
              And there are only 3 of them, and they are different and not interchangeable.
              The same Lotuses is a RTR satellite.
              A peony - which "can really do something" - is generally one.
              And yes, all these satellites cannot give target designation to missiles.
              And even directly to the ships, too, can not.
              They can give target designation only on the CCP.

              So study and study.

            If we take the Onyx indicators, I do not think that the size of the UVP will worsen the characteristics by more than 15-20%. This is now, if you repeat Onyx in the size of the Mk-14 container.
            Well, there will be not 300, but 250 km of range ...

            But if you are an engineer, and see the history and trends of the last 40 years, then:
            Reduce the weight of the warhead to a sufficient 160-180kg.
            Reduce the weight of the seeker to a modern 30kg
            Reduce the diameter to 533 mm, and bring the length together in the accelerator to 6,7 m - and you will get rockets that are supersonic with the latest multi-mode GOS, and with no flight inferior to Onyx / Bramos, etc. on a modern technological base.

                And you see how the size of the missiles decreases when the payload is reduced, for example, from 400kg to 200kg ... And that’s how it turns out. A radar weighs 90 kg + 300 kg warheads. But in modern conditions they should decrease. up to 160 kg per warhead and 30 kg per radar.
                Just very much reduced in size.

                Zircons are just modernized Onyxes.
                Do not flatter yourself.

        1. This universal UVP.

        They cannot push normal RCC into this "universal" UVP; the MK41 is the main mistake of the American naval construction.


        They do not need "normal RCC." They are replacing it now with the SAM Standard.
        In addition, "normal RCC" in development from that moment. how did the growth trend of the Chinese fleet appear. And it will be just under the MK41.

          SAM SAM standard does not replace the RCC from the word "completely." These are the wet dreams of Americans.

          It has been in development for several decades.

            Do you even know the history of the fleet and naval weapons somehow?

                This should show you that besides URA, you need to own a topic.
                P.S. Americans do not make anti-ship missiles because they plan to sink everything from an aircraft carrier, their engineers are no more stupid than ours.

                  They are planning wrong.
                  If hypothetical hippos fight in a vacuum, they’ll sink it from aircraft carriers, but in reality, such a battle can only occur on our shores and nothing of deck aviation shines.
                  In addition, the power of aircraft carrier groups is greatly exaggerated.

                    Maybe. But here, as it were, they have more experience than the USSR in WWII, for example.
                    In any case, only a real conflict will confirm the conclusions.

                    This is due to the fact that we can only fight 2,5 ships in the Ocean and they can block their sea trade, we have practically nothing.
                    On the coast we are really strong.

                      "Off the coast we are really strong." What is this? The entire coastline is littered with missiles and tactical bombs, including nuclear ones - they are on every aircraft carrier. Those ships that find themselves in the open ocean will be one hundred percent dead of heroic death - there will be no where to return.

                      Their sea trade is virtually nothing for us to block.

                      You are talking about Chinese maritime trade, if not mistaken.

    Americans in general could freeze the construction of large surface warships for twenty years, they have them and so, like dogs uncut laughing it would be better to build cruise liners instead laughing

      They are already world leaders in the number of cruise liners and market share. wink
      Maybe this also contributes to the financing of their Navy.

    As far as I know, “Arly Burke” appeared exclusively because the “Ticonderoger” had critical strength problems and had to reduce ammunition on a new project.

      No.
      They have different little tasks.
      Tika is the leader ship of the air defense warrant system. Manager. Manager. Commander, etc.
      Burke is a warhorse. Managed, scalable. Puzzle in one word.

    They still have it - SM-6 is called. they can work on surface targets if necessary.

    They will write off 11 with 122 launch cells, and they will adopt another 20 Arly Burkov with 96 cells and five missile arsenals based on the San Antonio landing ships with 500 universal launch cells - an increase in strike capabilities in three - more than they can write off.

    The US fleet has dozens of new missile destroyers such as Arly Burke, so the cancellation of the Tikanderog for the United States is not a big loss ... Russia needs to think how it will replace the 1982 Moscow cruiser and other Soviet antiques that don’t get better over the years, and not about US cruisers that already have a replacement ...
