The Navy is currently developing technologies and studying design options for a planned new cruiser called the CG(X). The Navy wants to procure a total of 19 CG(X)s as replacements for its 22 existing Ticonderoga (CG-47) class Aegis cruisers. The Navy wants to procure the first CG(X) in FY2011 and the second in FY2013. The Navy wants the CG(X) to be a highly capable multi- mission ship with an emphasis on air defense and ballistic missile defense (BMD).
