DLA awards recycling contract for USS Ticonderoga (CG 47) guided-missile cruiser
USS TICONDEROGA (CG 47) guided-mis- sile cruiser was decommissioned in 2004 and the recycling contract has now been awarded to International Shipbreaking Limited, LLC., one of the world’s largest green ship recycling companies (part of EMR Metal Recy- cling).
The USS Ticonderoga (CG 47) concluded her final voyage to the Port of Browns- ville, Texas on Wednesday 23 September, where full dismantling will commence with 98% of all removed materials being recycled.
In February 1980 the US Navy announced that the lead ship of a new class of guided missile cruisers would be named Ticon- deroga. This marked the fifth time in US Navy history that a ship would bear this historic name. USS Ticonderoga (CG 47) was built at Ingalls Shipbuilding, in Pas- cagoula Mississippi and delivered to the Navy on 13 December, 1982.

Chris Green, Senior Manager at Interna- tional Shipbreaking Ltd, said: “We take
great pride in having been awarded the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) contract to recycle this historic vessel.

She will be recycled in a safe, respectful and environmentally responsible manner.”
The recycling contract, which requires complete demilitarization of the entire ship, is set for completion in 2021.
