Ingalls entered the age of AEIGIS combat system in 1978 with a contract to build USS Ticonderoga (CG 47), the lead ship in the class. The ship’s design carried the Navy’s new AEGIS Combat System with the SPY 1 Phased Array Radar. Of the 27 ships in the class Ingalls built 19. USS Ticonderoga was launched in April 25, 1981 and First Lady Nancy Reagan christened the ship on May 16, 1981. Ingalls’ Planning Yard has maintained this entire class of ships through their lifecycle.
