Product: 1:700 US Missouri Schlachtschiff WL
The Iowa-class ships were the last major battleships in the US Navy. The
most famous one was and is the BB-63 Missouri. 212,000 horsepower
enabled the heavily armed colossus to reach a top speed of 33 knots. The
main armament consisted of nine 16 inch (40.6 cm) guns distributed in
three triple turrets (2 fore and 1 aft) with a maximum range of up to 40
km. The ships of the Iowa class were 270.4 m long and had a relatively
narrow hull of a maximum of 33 m, so they could easily pass the Panama Canal.
The USS Missouri entered service in 1944 and participated in numerous
operations in the Pacific War. On September 2, 1945, the Treaty of
Unconditional Surrender of the Japanese Armed Forces was signed aboard
the USS Missouri. With the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950, the
USS Missouri and her sister ships were used for fire support and
relegated to reserve service in 1955. In 1986 the ship was completely
renovated, modernized and equipped with the latest weapon technology.
The Missouri was used one last time in the Gulf War and in 1993, after
almost 50 years in service, she took her well-deserved retirement.
