HISTORY

(Sourced from: Wikipedia) USS Bunker Hill (CG-52) was a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser of the United States Navy constructed by Litton-Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation at Pascagoula, Mississippi and launched on 11 March 1985. The Ticonderoga-class cruisers are equipped with the Aegis Combat System and Bunker Hill is the first of the class to be equipped with the Mark 41 Vertical Launching System (VLS) in place of the previous ships' twin-arm Mark 26 missile launchers, which greatly improved the flexibility and firepower of the ships by allowing them to fire BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles for land attack missions. Other missions include ballistic missile defence and capital ship escort for anti-aircraft defense. The ship was commissioned on 20 September 1986 and was homeported at Naval Base San Diego in San Diego, California.

Bunker Hill saw service in the Persian Gulf during the Gulf War and deployed off the Somalian coast to prevent piracy. The cruiser has forward deployed to Yokosuka, Japan and has performed missions in the Pacific including monitoring missions during the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis.

Bunker Hill was decommissioned on 22 September 2023 at Naval Base San Diego.

Rant

Hi, for some reason i came back not after 1 month later. What a surprise i know. Anyways, i decided to try something new. That's right, a replica, the USS Bunker Hill that i finished in like 2 days, although i can't really solve the bouncing up and down. Im honestly quite surprised how well it turns out, so yeah.

Anyways, im not sure what to make next. Or what to include here. Anwyays, here's the website where i based this model on here.

So yeah, i hope you enjoyed the ship, i certainly did and i even put myown spin on her, like the use of Sea Ram CIWS. Thank you for trying out, thank you for visiting. I'll see you in another time.
