.a -,-r- ' •«■-, S Hl ' PS ISSI09 C The mission of USS GETTYSBURG is to be prepared to conduct prompt, sustained combat operations at sea, in support of national tasking. GETTYSBURG is equipped to operate offensively in a high density, multi-threat environment as an integral member of a carrier battle group or surface action group. GETTYSBURG is capable in multiple warfare areas including air defense, undersea warfare, surface warfare and strike warfare. GETTYSBURG is equipped with the AN SPY- IB phased array radar. This radar system incorporates sig- nificant advances in the detention capabilities of the Aegis Weapon System, particularly in its resistance to enemy electronic countermeasures. Using the SPY- IB and ship ' s Mark 99 fire control system, GETTYSBURG can guide its vertically launched Standard Missisles to intercept hostile aircraft and missiles at extended ranges. To provide point defense against hostile air tragets, GETTYSBURG is equipped with the Phalanx Close In Weapons System (CIWS). GETTYSBURG is equipped with a potent USW com- bat system. Long-range land attack cruise missile capa- bility is provided by Tomahawk missiles, which are launched from the Vertical Launching System. Harpoon anti-ship cruise missiles are capable of destroying hostile surface ships well beyond the horizon. The two 5 54 cal- iber guns, in conjunction with the Mark 86 Fire Control System are used against surface ships, air contacts, and to support forces ashore. GETTYSBURG ' S weapons are supplemented by the AN SLQ-32V(3) electronic warfare suite, which includes passive detection systems, decoys, and active electronic countermeasures. USS GETTYSBURG is powered by four quick response LM2500 gas turbine engines coupled to two controllable, reversible pitch propellers. This com- bination give GETTYSBURG tremendous maneuver- ability and a top speed in excess of 30 knots.
