Talk:USS Rancocas

Appearance
I've removed the reference to "Aegis cruiser", as that's ambiguous. Is the top a replica (built in 1976, apparently) of a Ticonderoga class cruiser (ca. 1980), or something else? --StuartBrady 17:40, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

The top section of CSEDS does not exactly match any Aegis ship, of any country. The antenna placement is similar to a USN Aegis cruiser (CG), with a 90 degree rotation on a vertical axis. It is more of an early concept model. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.223.24 (talk) 03:11, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

This article is correct as currently written. The "superstructure" of the building was from early drawings for the Strike Cruiser (which would have had nuclear propulsion). It was cancelled due to cost, and the planned Aegis Destroyer (based on the Spruance hull) was re-designated as a cruiser. I added some wiki-links to other articles to make it easier to dig for relevant details. RookWolf (talk) 19:51, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Commissioned ship or not??
The article presently says ″While not a commissioned ship in the United States Navy, it is a Navy-owned building, staffed by Navy personnel attached to Aegis Technical Representative (AEGIS TECHREP).″ However Lockheed Martin's page for the facility appears to contradict this:

"Despite its landlocked location, the Rancocas is a commissioned naval vessel, manned by sailors of the U.S. Navy. " http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/100years/stories/cornfield-cruiser.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.234.251.101 (talk) 00:59, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
