1/700 Trumpeter USS California BB44 Battleship 1945

Description:       USS CALIFORNIA (BB-44), the second of two Tennessee Class turbo-electric battleships, was laid down on October 25th 1916, launched on November 20th 1919 and commissioned on August 10th 1921. At the time, CALIFORNIA was the largest warship built at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in California.       In the raid on Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941 CALIFORNIA was sunk by Japanese torpedo action. Following the crew’s successful efforts that prevented capsize, CALIFORNIA was refloated on March 25th 1942 and made for Puget Sound ship yard for rehabilitation and modernisation, completed by January 1944. With sister Tennessee, CALIFORNIA participated in the invasions of Saipan, Guam and Tinian in June and July 1944, and in the Mariana and Palau islands invasions from June to November 1944. Tennessee collided with CALIFORNIA in the Pacific on August 23rd 1944, both ships sustaining damage, with fatalities on CALIFORNIA. The naval Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944 saw the sister ships in action again.       On January 6th 1945 CALIFORNIA was struck by ‘Kamikaze’ plane during the Lingayen Gulf campaign and returned to Puget Sound for repairs. CALIFORNIA was back in action in the western Pacific at Okinawa in June 1945, remaining in the East China Sea on minesweeping duty. CALIFORNIA supported the Allied occupation forces in Japan until October 1945 before returning home to Philadelphia PA. CALIFORNIA was decommissioned in February 1947 and sold for scrap in July 1959.   Kit Features: Scale  :  1:700 Item Type  :  Static Kit Model Brief  :  Length: 272.2mm Beam: 48.8mm Total Parts  :  630+ Photo Etched Parts  :  1 piece Total Sprues  :  23 sprues, upper hull, lower hull, water line plate, decks and stand More Features  :  Lower hull & upper hull made from multi-directional slide moulds. - Either full hull version or waterline version can be selected. - Deck wood pattern finely rendered - Contains three SC-1 plane - Contains display stand and engraved name plate Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
