USS Vincennes (CG-49) was an American missile cruiser. The keel for this unit was laid in 1982, the launch took place in April 1984, and the entry into service with the US Navy took place in 1985. The total length of the ship was 173 meters and a width of 16.8 meters. Full displacement reached approx. 9,600 tons and maximum speed to approx. 32-33 knots. The on-board armament of the ship at the time of launching included, among others: two 2-rail missile launchers Mk. 26 VLS, 8 RGM-84 Harpoon rocket launchers, two single 127 mm guns, two 20 mm Vulcan Phalanx sets, and two 533 mm triple torpedo tubes. The unit was based on two Sikorsky SH60 / MH60 helicopters.

USS Vincennes (CG-49) was one of the 27 built and 22 active cruisers belonging to the Ticonderoga class. Units of this type were designed and built on the one hand to significantly increase the combat capabilities of the US Navy, and on the other - to replace the Virginia class cruisers. The Ticonderoga ships differ from their predecessors in many ways. First of all, they have a classic drive, based on four gas turbines, instead of an atomic drive - as in the Virginia class - which significantly reduces their operating costs. In addition, they have a completely changed interior architecture and the shape of superstructures, making the external appearance of cruisers of this class similar to the destroyers of the Spruance class. Thirdly, cruisers of this type have the revolutionary AEGIS network combat system, cooperating with the AN / SPY-1 radar, which provided them with unprecedented possibilities to control the airspace and counter air targets. Ships of this class also have extensive capabilities to combat submarines (ZOP) and surface targets. One of the Ticonderoga-class ships was the USS Vincennes (CG-49). The vessel was built at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula. USS Vincennes belonged to the development line of her class Baseline 1 cruisers. This means that at the time of launching, the cruiser had two twin MK launchers. 26, and not the VLS Mk.41 launchers, could not fire Tomahawk missiles, but it had the ability to base two on-board helicopters. After entering service, USS Vincennes was assigned to the Pacific Fleet, and already in 1986 it showed considerable combat capabilities during the RIMPAC 86 sea maneuvers. The unit also operated in the Persian Gulf region during the last period of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988). In the 1990s, the unit actively participated in many military maneuvers and exercises. During this period, the cruiser was also modernized, and its launchers Mk. 26 was replaced with the Mk.41 VLS launchers. In 2001, USS Vincennes supported American operations in Afghanistan related to the so-called war on terrorism. The unit was decommissioned in 2005.
