Godzilla (2014)
Several Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers were anchored near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco as Godzilla and the MUTOs converged on the city. Godzilla surfaces beneath three of the cruisers, prompting two of them to open fire, touching off a battle that led to him crashing through the Bridge.

Godzilla vs. Kong
Several ships of this class were part of a convoy escorting Kong to the Hollow Earth entrance in Antarctica. When Godzilla targeted them in the Tasmian Sea, the ships engaged the Titan, his tail splitting one in half. After Kong was freed from his restraints, the ape Titan used another one of these ships as a makeshift stepping stone to reach a nearby aircraft carrier. Another cruiser dropped the depth charges that broke Godzilla's tail grip on Kong. The surviving ships powered down on Nathan Lind's recommendation, playing dead so Godzilla would believe he won the engagement.
