About 11 Ticonderoga cruisers took part in the Gulf War. Since 2022, 7 of these ships have retired, including USS Philippine Sea and USS Normandy this year, both of which participated in Operation Desert Storm. USS Princeton is the only Gulf War cruiser left in active service. In the event that the retired Ticonderoga cruisers get disposed of, I want USS Princeton to be preserved, since she was hit by a mine during an American-led war.
