In today’s episode we will take a look on the reason why the U.S Navy can’t seem to build the Guided-missile cruiser ? It is generally known that modern cruisers are the largest ships in a fleet after aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships that can usually perform several roles. The role of the cruiser varied according to ship and navy, often including air defence and shore bombardment. The Navy has for almost two decades struggled to figure out what kind of platforms should replace the Guided-missile cruiser as the air defence command ship for the carrier strike group, and several efforts have been cancelled or postponed along the way.
