A total of five US Navy Ticonderoga class cruisers and 16 Arleigh Burke class destroyers have BMD capability as of November 2010. [1] [16] In 2010, all remaining Ticonderoga class cruisers that have SPY 1B systems (CG-59–CG-73) will be refitted with TBMD engagement technology.

Ticonderoga class cruisers equipped with anti-ballistic missile capability include the USS Lake Erie, USS Shiloh and USS Port Royal. Arleigh Burke class destroyers so equipped include the USS Wilbur, USS Stout, USS John S. McCain, USS Russell, USS Paul Hamilton, USS Ramage, USS Fitzgerald, USS Stethem, USS Benfold, USS Milius, USS Decatur, USS O'Kane.
An additional three ships have been refitted for Long Range Surveillance and Tracking (LRST): USS John Paul Jones, USS Hopper, and USS Higgins, with plans to add engagement capabilities by 2010.

On November 12, 2009, the Missile Defense Agency announced that six additional US Navy destroyers would be upgraded to participate in the program. In fiscal 2012, USS Carney, USS Ross, and USS Donald Cook will be upgraded. USS Cole, USS McFaul and USS Porter will be upgraded in fiscal year 2013. The goal of the program is to have 21 ships upgraded by the end of 2010; 24 in 2012; 27 around 2013 and 38 at the end of FY 2015.[17][18]

In January 2010, the Obama Administration began to increase the deployed presence of Aegis BMD-equipped warships in the Persian Gulf. Some media reports attributed this to heightened concerns about conduct of Iran and its possible nuclear weapons effort.

Any of those ships off the coast of Israel?

so basically they are cleaning up the iranian "fronts" before they decide to attack iranian nuclear sites.

I think there is one very important thing to mention about a possible all out war in the middle east !

This generation has not seen real war ! None of us have witnessed what a real all out war, with modern weapons is really like !

What we have seen in Iraq and Afghanistan is the US trying the topple the regimes of those countries ! If the US wanted to level those countries completely, those wars would have been over in a week...and I'm not talking about using nukes, just conventional carpet bombing with a sky filled with B-52s, B-2s, etc !

Just imagine how an all out war will be like in the middle east, when nobody cares about civilian casualties anymore and all countries attack with everything they've got at their disposal !

i hear this donkey/horse here

Chanting = new targets....not creepy....just a means of Islam leading the way to where to point the missiles....

One shot, 1 kill. The others are just bonuses!

Cheers!

I absolutely agree.

Also of note: no one alive today that is native to the US has ever experienced war on their very own main street.

This is a luxury that the US has enjoyed for a long time, and it concerns me greatly as to how the societal climate may likely turn rapidly following should such an event happen.

You got that right man !

Dr.Acula was saying it would take 8 hrs and that was last night so assume they will be there or abouts

Not even close. WWII casualties were high. We won't witness that in the ME unless it is truly biblical armaggedon.

It's a good 2300 miles from Gibraltar to Gaza.
