Hi,
A few “thoughts” about the Ticonderoga class cruiser
1- Mk-36 SRBOC:As far as I know some ships of this class has 4x Mk-36 SRBOC located forward the SQL-32 ECM devices platform.
However, other ships of this class have the Mk-36 SRBOC installed on different locations.
On the starboard side, the 2x (and sometimes 3x) Mk-36 are now located on the same deck (starboard) of the CIWS and close to the CIWS, on the right side of the FWD funnel structure.
As the same deck has only space for the port CIWS (due to the FWD funnel location), the Mk-36 decoys are now located on the deck located bellow the AFT funnel structure.
2- MK-53 Nulka:I think all ships of this class has now MK-53 Nulka installed.
Two of them are located on the starboard side news the starboard CIWS and Mk-36 on the right side of the FWD funnel structure.
As for the others 2x Mk-53 Nulka, one is located near the port CIWS and the 2nd is located on the deck located bellow the AFT funnel structure, close the the Mk-36 decoys launchers.

What ships of this class received this “extra” structure and what’s the purpose of this structure?
