What went wrong, /k/?

Nothing. You are probably drinking a beer from a can made out of recycled parts of her.
The crew to weapon and capability ratio was ridiculous.
Based Burke better in every way.
Less crew doing more.

fixed it for yah OP
>>29259146
if it went so right why is their no successor?
>>29259188
Because there's no reason to do so when you have ICBM capable subs that don't get spotted from orbit by everyone who has a satellite.

Hardly. The Regulus and Polaris capabilities were not part of the original concept and never came to fruition anyway. CGN-9 is a typical American CG in its role in every way.
area air defense for a fleet - check
asw - check
missile-oriented surface warfare - check
nuclear deterrence - an afterthought idea that was dropped almost as soon as it was conceived
>>29259027
VLS Ticonderogas made them entirely redundant.
>>29261592
And obsolete.
And far more expensive to build, maintain and man for lesser capability.
The CGNs were an awesome thing for their time, but their time is now over, much like gun BBs.
Politics of a nuclear powered ship and port access in foreign countries.

..does it have four separate tracking radars?
None of which can look backwards?
>>29259027
Nothing. It was a transitional type that paved the way to better things.
>>29261786
pretty sure those are illuminating radars used to guide the semi active missiles, the giant box that makes up half the superstructure is the search/track radar
