I understand there was a proposal to reactivate two CA-134 Class Heavy Cruisers (probably USS Des Moines and USS Salem) in place of or in additional to the Iowa Class reactivations. Below are two of the concepts I have found. However, I was wondering if there are any more details out there? The Iowa's were a response to the Kirov's; could these have been a similar response to the Slava's? Could the US Navy have operated six Surface Action Groups (four BB based + two CA based) as a part of the 600 Ship Navy? I know this would have required additional escorts beyond what was already programed for the 15 CVBG + 4 SAGs. Any thoughts or insight are welcome.
Thanks!
Thanks!
