Actually this was a two-part FRP deployment of an ESG not an SSG:

"Actually the L-class deployments started in May 2005 with the surge of the USS Saipan (LHA 2), USS Nicholas (FFG 47) and USS Nashville (LPD 13). It was followed in June with the surge of the USS Philippine Sea (CG 58) and USS Gunston Hall (LSD 44) on May 25th, 2005."

Notice the three ship ARG represented by an LHA,LPD and LSD.

Actually an ESG mimus considering the lack of a Burke class DD. But Ill bet if I dig far enough I will find that ship also surged .

Any wagers?
