2 x twin-arm Mk. 26 missile launcher + 44 SM-2 surface-to-air missiles. Following the CG-51, these were replaced with 2 x 61-cell Mk. 41 VLS, each armed with a mix of ASROC ASW missile, Tomahawk cruise missile, and the SM-2 and ESSM SAMs.

Overview:
The Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers are large surface warships equipped with the Aegis defense system. First ordered and authorized in 1978, they were intended to provide carrier battle groups with improved air defense capabilities. These warships are provided with increased combat capability, thanks to the Aegis combat system's AN/SPY-1A radar and Mk. 99 fire control system. Ships built after the USS Thomas S. Gates (CG-51) are outfitted with the improved AN/SPY-1B radar and two Mark 41 VLS systems.

The twin Mk. 41 Vertical Launch Systems (VLS) have a total of 122 launch tubes that carry a wide variety of missiles; including the BGM-109 Tomahawk, the Standard Missile family of SAMs, and the ASROC anti-submarine missiles. The VLS enables the ship's missiles to be fully standing at any moment, shortening the ship's reaction time and increasing its rate of fire.

Why do the estovakian navy call it a destroyer, when it's a cruiser. You hear them say it in the mission to take back San Loma?

Don't know, could it be that the ship was a Burke-class? It has alomost the same hull as the Tico.

If not, it's likely something similar to the way France classifies Destroyers as Frigates.

Valahia uses this in ACX2, and in one mission the US navy uses this. The IUPF Navy uses this too in one mission.

ACS is a anarchy where you can get away with any stupid comment, if you like ACS fine but you're wrong. No matter what logic you come up with. It is only "fun" in an online world were these conditions of anonymity exist and people can escape their lives and play alpha pseudo intellectual.
