Synopsis
This title explores the history of the US Navy's guided missile cruisers, its most powerful surface ships during the Cold War, which were tasked with protecting carrier groups, acting as flagships, and engaging in surface actions from Vietnam to the Persian Gulf. Faced with an increasingly formidable antiship cruise missile threat from the Soviet Union in the early days of the Cold War, and with the recent memory of the kamikaze threat from World War II, the USN. placed a great priority on developing air defense cruise missiles and getting them to sea to protect the fleet. The first of these missiles were sizable, necessitating large ships to carry them and their sensors, which resulted in the conversion of a mix of heavy and light cruisers. These ships, tasked with protecting carrier groups and acting as flagships, entered service from 1955 and served until 1980. The cruisers served in the front lines of the Cold War and many saw combat service, engaging in surface actions from Vietnam to the Persian Gulf. Complementing the conventionally-powered missile cruisers was a much smaller number of expensive nuclear-powered cruisers, including the Long Beach , the USN's largest-ever missile cruiser. Until replaced by the Ticonderoga and Burke classes of Aegis ships, the USN's 38 missile cruisers were the most capable and important surface combatants in the fleet and served all over the globe during the Cold War. Using specially commissioned artwork and meticulous research, this illustrated title explores the story of these cruisers in unparalleled detail, revealing the history behind their development and employment., As the Cold War intensified, Soviet antiship missiles and jet aircraft posed an increasing threat to the viability of the US Navy's (USN) surface fleet. It was therefore essential to get air-defense missiles to sea as fast as possible, but early USN missiles and their electronics were large and cumbersome. The solution lay with guided missile cruisers. Initially these were conversions of redundant World War II cruisers, but a series of purpose-built guided missile cruisers soon followed, as well as a handful of expensive nuclear-powered cruisers, including USS Long Beach, the USN's largest-ever missile cruiser. The USN's 38 guided missile cruisers were the most capable and important surface combatants in the fleet throughout the Cold War. They served as carrier escorts and flagships, and saw combat from Vietnam to the Persian Gulf. This book explains the development, technology, and service of these ships, from the first primitive guided missile cruisers up to their replacement by the Aegis-equipped warships of today's US Navy. Book jacket., This title explores the history of the US Navy's guided missile cruisers, its most powerful surface ships during the Cold War, which were tasked with protecting carrier groups, acting as flagships, and engaging in surface actions from Vietnam to the Persian Gulf.
