CG(X)

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 after 2017. Original plans were for 18–19 ships, based on the 14,500 ton Zumwalt-class destroyer with additional ballistic missile defense and area air defense for a carrier group. The program was ended in 2010; with its mission and results intended to be forwarded to and taken by a successor to the Flight III Arleigh Burke–class destroyers instead.
