Will these come equipped with AESA and the latest AMRAAM?? The Taiwanese need AEGIS to hold off the Chicoms

[COEXERJ145]

Taiwan wants to buy Aegis equipped ships but the U.S. has been hesitant for a couple of reasons to sell them. One is of course ticking off the Chicoms. The other is if by some strange chance Taiwan did rejoin the mainland, then the PRC would suddenly have access to our most advanced warships.

Right now there are some decommissioned Ticonderoga class CG's that could be quickly refitted for service with Taiwan.

Not on the Block 52 described in the article, AESA only on Block 60's.
