Hasegawa HWL710 1700 Scale USS Ticonderoga Model Kit

Product Description Ticonderoga differed somewhat from the earlier Essex-class ships in that she was 16 ft (4.9 m) longer to accommodate bow-mounted anti-aircraft guns. Most subsequent Essex-class carriers were completed to this "long-hull" design and according to Phillip St. John Ph.D. they were referred to as the Ticonderoga class. At the end of her career, after a number of modifications, she was said to be in the Hancock class according to the Naval vessel register. Ticonderoga was decommissioned in 1973 and sold for scrap in 1975. Plastic Model kits which require paints and glues to finish Set Contains: 1 x Model Kit
