Welcome
to the USS Ticonderoga CG-47 Veterans' Site
This site
is dedicated to those of us who were "haze gray and underway"
with the USS Ticonderoga CG-47. We hope to provide a place for CG-47 vets to reconnect with shipmates.
The USS Ticonderoga
CG 47 was decommissioned on Thursday, September 30th, 2004. She
is currently at the Navy Inactive Ships Maintenance Facility in Philadelphia
awaiting final disposition. For
news, commentary, and pictures, of decommissioning ceremony, check
this page: Decommissioning
info. Efforts are underway to place the Ticonderoga as a museum. Please visit our message board for the latest information.
As former
Tico sailors (see "About Us"),
we decided to create a place for other vets to catch up, stay in touch,
and exchange sea stories. If you're wondering what your Navy buddies
are up to, why not put a post on the Message Board? You can also send
us an email and we'll add you to our "Tico Vets" list. Then
other vets can get in touch with you on their own.
Other features
of the site include a Tico Photo gallery and Tico history page. If you
have any comments or suggestions for the site, please feel free to drop
us a line using the "Email Us" button. Enjoy!
To connect
with other Tico sailors from both the carrier and the cruiser, head
on over to the Ticonderoga Veterans' Association
web site.
