CGX Guided Missle Cruiser
The CG(X) program, also known as the Next Generation Cruiser program, was a United States Navy research program to develop a replacement vessel for its 22 Ticonderoga-class cruisers. Due to funding cuts, it was decided to refit the existing Ticonderoga hulls using the lessons learned from the CGX program. The result is a Ticonderoga hull with the latest system and weapon upgrades which will serve the U.S. Navy until the 2050’s.

Much thanks to Nuclearstonk, the author of New Threat Upgrade (NTU). His mod served as an inspiration for this one starting with the Ticonderoga VLS model. Additionally, his sensor & weapons mods taught me how to do my own modifications which allowed this mod to be created. If you are not familiar with NTU, I highly recommend this mod. Please stop by https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3364894660 to get it & share some love to NuclearStonk.

This mod is based on the fictional scenario described above. The weapons & sensors of the CGX are technologically advanced; as such you may be over powered in 1:1 engagements. I recommend increasing the difficulty level, or using this mod in engagements with larger forces. On that note, I wouldn’t classify this as a "Cheat Ship". You are not invincible, nor are your weapons. The weapons depicted are based on actual research programs of the 21st century.
Enhancements & upgrades of the CGX include:
1) Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) anti-ship missile.
2) High Velocity Projectile (HVP) 5" gun.
3) Ramjet equipped Tomahawks which enable supersonic flight.
4) Enhanced sensors
5) Survivability and signature enhancements.
6) Engine upgrades.
7) MK50 torpedoes.
