Mobile Bay (CG 53) - Naval Cruise Book

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1991 volume:

USS MOBILE BAY is the seventh ship of the TICONDEROGA Class of cruisers. Her primary mission is to provide Anti-Air defense for a carrier battle group, however she is equally capable of Strike Warfare, Naval Gun- fire Support, Anti-Submarine Warfare, and Anti-Surface Warfare. To support her many missions, MOBILE BAY is equipped with the Aegis Weapons System and the Vertical Launching System (VLS). Together, these two systems combine to form the world ' s most advanced combat sys- tem, capable of tracking hundreds of targets, and firing more missiles with greater accuracy than any existing sys- tem. MOBILE BAY ' S weapons include SM-2 Block II surface-to-air missiles, Tomahawk cruise missiles, Harpoon surface-to-surface missiles, 5754 caliber guns, Vulcan Phalanx Close-in-Weapon System, torpedoes. MOBILE BAY is also capable of carrying two SH-60B LAMPS (Light Airborne Multipurpose System ) MK III helicopters. MOBILE BAY was built by Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi and was commissioned on 21 February 1987. She is homeported in Yokosuka.
