USS Bunker Hill (CG-52) is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser of the United States Navy laid down by Litton-Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation at Pascagoula, Mississippi on 11 January 1984, launched on 11 March 1985, and commissioned on 20 September 1986. Bunker Hill is homeported at Naval Base San Diego in San Diego, California. Bunker Hill was the first Ticonderoga-class cruiser 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 RGM-109 Tomahawk missiles.

General Characteristics and Role

The USS Bunker Hill (CG-52) is a guided-missile cruiser of the Ticonderoga class in the United States Navy. Commissioned in 1986, she was named for the Revolutionary War Battle of Bunker Hill. The Ticonderoga class is notable for being the first class of warships equipped with the Aegis Combat System, which provides sophisticated air defense capabilities by integrating advanced radar and weapon systems. Bunker Hill was the first ship of her class to utilize the Vertical Launching System (VLS), which significantly increased the ship’s flexibility, reload speed, and missile capacity compared to earlier cruisers using twin-arm launchers. Her primary mission is to operate as a vital component of a carrier strike group, providing comprehensive air, surface, and anti-submarine defense.
