    The first five CGs were designed as Aegis superstructure on Spruance class hulls for anti-aircraft operations. They could not fire vertical Tomahawks and were retired, as were all Spruance class destroyers.
    Modernization is to compensate for lack of new construction as the cruiser class is reaching its 25 year lifespan
    Budget cuts discussed January 2012 call for retiring the seven oldest cruisers and increasing the number of destroyers. The four retained under the National Defense Authorization Act for 2013.
