The USS Philippine Sea (CG-58), a legendary Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, has officially retired from the U.S. Navy after decades of service. With its powerful AEGIS combat system and more than 120 vertical launch system cells, this warship was once among the most feared surface combatants at sea.
But here’s the twist: some U.S. lawmakers are calling for decommissioned U.S. Navy warships to be donated to allies—and the Philippines is at the top of the speculation list. Could the USS Philippine Sea, a ship named after a historic World War II battle tied to Philippine waters, find its final port in the Philippines?
In this video, west pacific watch explores:
⚓ The retirement of USS Philippine Sea (CG-58)
⚓ The phase-out of the Ticonderoga-class cruisers
⚓ U.S. Congress’ proposal to donate retired warships
⚓ The possibility of the Philippine Navy receiving a cruiser
⚓ Strategic implications for the West Philippine Sea / South China Sea
⚓ Challenges of maintaining such a massive missile cruiser in Philippine service
The question is clear: Will this retired U.S. Navy cruiser fade quietly into history—or could it sail again, this time under the Philippine flag?
