Another thing to think about did CGN-9 Long Beach go through with its scheduled AEGIS upgrade. Did other CGNs get the upgrade as well?

Plans had been drawn up to replace the Talos missiles with a pair of 8-cell Sea Sparrow launchers (and add a pair of Phalanx CIWS in place of the Bofors). Probably not plausible post-Thanksgiving, but as an early war refit it's at least somewhat possible.
