USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) was a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser, commissioned September 26, 1987 at Pascagoula, Mississippi and named for the 1944 Battle of Leyte Gulf — the largest naval battle of World War II and arguably the largest in modern history. Homeported at Naval Station Norfolk, Leyte Gulf served the Atlantic Fleet through more than thirty-seven years of operations including Operation Desert Storm in 1991, multiple Mediterranean and Persian Gulf deployments, and counter-piracy and counter-narcotics patrols. She was decommissioned in 2025 after one of the longest service careers in the Tico class. This framed ship photo is a tribute to her crew and the legacy of one of the Navy's most decorated Aegis cruisers.
