I was military contractor on the USS mobile Bay when they were in Yokosuka. My project is as far as I know still classified and a NDA is still valid.

CG-53 General Specifications​

Class: Ticonderoga class cruiser

Named for: Battle of Mobile Bay

Complement: 33 Officers and 357 Enlisted

Displacement: 9600 tons

Length: 567 feet

Beam: 55 feet

Flank Speed: 32 Knots


I worked on that ship for a few months to setup it's new battle ready system.

SAN DIEGO (Aug.10, 2023) – The Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay (CG 53) sits pier side during a decommissioning ceremony. The Mobile Bay was decommissioned after more than 36 years of distinguished service.

Before that project, I always through the Aircraft Carrier along with the Admiral controlled the fleet but the USS Mobile Bay was the center of all communications along with their 64 missiles. I met many squids on board who were all fantastic personal.
I will always remember that ship and its crew and all crew acted outstanding when docked and at sea.

32 knots is subject to lots of debate, they do get after it .. miss them times
like the big old BBs lets go get there now fast

funny thing about ticos and burke class ships is the amount of squat in the stern at high speeds
we lost in the area of 5 to 10 feet of draft depending on speed and depth of water
onboard uss normandy we dredged parts of the suez one time ...hmmm getting it through to go say hi to the northern arabian gulf

I remember actually walking into the 747 jet engines. Wow they were huge.

i did ask a few squids how many knots will she do and all of them said, "that is above our pay grade but she go very fast and when they make a hard turn, you will be pinned against the wall." IMO, I think 32 knots is close estimate.
