The Aegis system is an extensive integration of electronic detection, command and decision programs, and engagement systems. ANZIO ' s weaponry and state of the art electronics truly distinguish her as a multi-mission warship able to simultaneously engage air, surface, and subsurface threats. The AN SPY- IB is the primary sensor of the Aegis system. This computer controlled phased array radar eliminates the need for separate search and tracking radars by simultaneously performing both functions. The four fixed arrays of the SPY radar form small beams of electromagnetic energy, and steer them to provide near instantaneous full radar coverage. It is capable of tracking hundreds of contacts. ANZIO ' s layered anti-air capability centers around the MK 41 DRAFT (KEEL) 22.4 Feet DRAFT (NAVIGATION) 33.5 Feet DISPLACEMENT 9,695 Tons COMPLEMENT 28 Officers 348 Enlisted Vertical Launch System (VLS), a multiwarfare missile launching system capable of firing a variety of missiles against airborne and surface threats. Standard Missiles provide ANZIO anti-air defense out to long ranges. For closer air targets, ANZIO wields an air gun capability with its five inch guns. To complete its anti-air defenses the Phalanx weapons system delivers a lethal punch to close inbound missiles. The ship ' s surface and subsurface weapons arc extremely capable. Tomahawk and Harpoon cruise missiles provide stand-off strike capability while Standard Missiles and five inch guns handle short range engagements. For anti-submarine warfare, ANZIO is the first Aegis cruiser to be equipped with the powerful AN SOS-53C hull mounted sonar. This system together with the AN SQS-19 lowed array, AN SQQ-2S sonobuoy processor, and the LAMPS MK III weapon system form the most advanced sonar suite placed on a surface ship.
