US Navy decommissions the third Ticonderoga-class in one month
Story by Harry McNeil • 21h


With the decommissioning of USS Antietam, the US Navy continues its modernisation strategy, balancing legacy asset retirements with fleet upheaval.

The US Navy decommissioned the USS Antietam (CG 54) on September 27, 2024, after 37 years of service.

The USS Cowpens (CG 63) and USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55), both Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers, were decommissioned within the last month. The USS Cowpens was retired on August 28, 2024, after 33 years of service, and the USS Leyte Gulf was decommissioned on September 20, 2024, after 37 years.
 
The retirement of the USS Antietam, a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser, is part of the Navy's efforts to phase out ageing vessels and invest in modern platforms that offer greater technology.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Would that the billions flushed down the LCS sewer been used to buy more Arleigh Burke DDGs and some more modern cutters for the USCG!

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
