    The USS The Sullivans was a WWII Fletcher Class destroyer, It was named after the five Sullivan brothers who all died after their ship was sunk. They had all requested that they serve on the same ship. As a result the navy no longer allowed brothers to serve on the same ship.
    This madel is a very large scale. Seems to be a larger scale than the others which are about 1/72. It is about 8 feet long, that just a guess. Bottom line is that it is probably the best large scale destroyer model in existence.
    The other side is a cut away with the interior and that is coming right up.

      Gorgeous ship, great detail. Story of the Sullivan bros so sad, this ship was a nice tribute

      Thank you very much bb2. I spend hours making a model I would never have the patience.
