The Iowa Class Battleships were the largest and final great battleships of the US Navy. They included the BB-61 Iowa, the BB-62 New Jersey, and the third ship, the famous BB-63 Battleship Missouri. These ships, which boasted an amazing 212,000hp allowing a 33knots max speed, were armed with massive 40.6cm main guns. The Iowa Class ships stretched 270.4m but were relatively thin, with only 33m max length, enabling these ships to pass through the Panama Canal. Being commissioned in June 1944, the USS Missouri took part in many operations during the Pacific War including bombardments on Japanese mainland and capital. On September 2, 1945, the treaty for the unconditional surrender of Japanese forces was signed onboard the deck of the historical USS Missouri. With the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 the USS Missouri was deployed again with the other Iowa Class Battleships for fire support. The USS Missouri was relegated to reserve duty in 1955, but became subject to complete renovation and modernization in 1986 when she was fitted with the latest in electronic weapon systems, cruise missiles and other improvements. In 1991, the USS Missouri was deployed to fight in the Gulf War. Finally, in 1993, after about a half-century of service, this historical Battleship was at last retired.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eA plastic assembly kit of the U.S. Navy Battleship Missouri\u003cbr\u003e1\/700 scale Overall length: 386.5mm, Overall width: 47mm\u003cbr\u003eThe long and narrow form of USS Missouri's hull has been accurately replicated\u003cbr\u003eMissouri's characteristics such as the main structure coupled with the front funnel have been reproduced\u003cbr\u003eThe hull has been divided in two halves in order to reproduce the finest details\u003cbr\u003eThe finest details of the main structure and the masts have been accurately recreated\u003cbr\u003eThe main turrets can rotate after completion via polycap\u003cbr\u003eEquipment such as armament including 40mm and 20mm guns are sharply reproduced\u003cbr\u003eKit includes two types of floatplanes, Vought OS2U Kingfishers and Curtiss SC-1 Seahawks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperational Status:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"This item is brand new from the factory.\"\u003eFunctional\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Box:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tamiya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMSRP:\u003c\/strong\u003e $51.00\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Model Kits\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Trainz SKU for this item is P12000301. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 6px !important; color: #d3d3d3 !important; line-height: 8px !important;\"\u003eTrainz Product Id: 12000301\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39697632985210,"sku":"P12000301","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1260\/4747\/products\/3599630.jpg?v=1678257747","url":"https:\/\/www.trainz.com\/products\/tamiya-31613-1-700-uss-missouri-bb63-battleship-waterline","provider":"Trainz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
