The California class was the first to introduce the new lightweight Mk 45 127mm gun but the SAM launchers were Mk 13 single arm launchers which was something of backward step.
The Mk 13 could not handle the ER versions of the SM-1 and SM-2 or the ASROC.
This later failing nessecitated the inclusion of a Mk 112 ASROC launcher and a large deckhouse for reloading.

A ballistic missile is one whose payload reaches its target by way of an initial powered boost and then a free flight along a high arcing trajectory.
Part of the flight of longer-range ballistic missiles may occur outside the atmosphere and involve the "reentry" of a warhead or the missile.
The deployment of this missile cannot be confirmed, however, and the U.S. Department of State does not credit Argentina with this missile.
