The USS Enterprise (CV-6) was an American aircraft carrier, the keel of which was laid in 1934, launched in October 1936, and commissioned with the US Navy in May 1938. The ship was 252 m long, 33.4 m wide, and her full displacement at the time of launching was 25,500 tons. The maximum speed of the USS Enterprise was around 32-33 knots, and its main armament consisted of 90 on-board planes. The USS Enterprise was the second Yorktown-class aircraft carrier. The experience gained during the operation of Lexington-type vessels was used in the construction of this type of ship. First of all, it was decided to build relatively large aircraft carriers, with the greatest emphasis on the number of planes taken and the maximum speed, at the expense of armor. So they were going in the same direction as the Japanese designers, and in the opposite direction to the British Royal Navy. It is worth adding that the construction of the aircraft carrier popularly known as "Big E" was part of the program of rebuilding the American economy after the Great Depression of 1929, launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. During its long and well-deserved service, the USS Enterprise was modernized several times: in 1940 it received an air surveillance radar (type CXAM-1), and later in 1942 it received a new SC-2 radar. In the course of the fighting in the Pacific, the anti-aircraft weapons were also changed, which in October 1943 had 40 40 mm cannons and 50 20 mm cannons. At the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific, the USS Enterprise was near Pearl Harbor and, shortly after the Japanese attack, took part in a fruitless search for its attackers. In April 1942, the carrier covered the famous Doolittle Raid in Tokyo. Following this operation, he played one of the most important roles in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. Later in 1942, the USS Enterprise was intensively involved in naval operations in the Guadalcanal area, for example in the Battle of Santa Cruz Island. In November 1943 he covered the American landings on Tarawa and Makin. In early 1944 he took part in the fighting in the Marshall Islands area, and in June of that year he took part in the Battle of the Philippine Sea. In 1945, it supported the American operations on Iwo-Jima and Okinawa, being damaged in their course. It was taken off the line and scrapped in 1960. The USS Enterprise was one of the most distinguished and decorated ships of the US Navy during World War II.

USS Missouri (BB-63) was an American battleship laid down in 1941, launched in January 1944, and commissioned in the US Navy in June 1944. The length of the ship was 270.4 m, width 33 m, and her full displacement - at the time of launching - 58,400 tons. The top speed of the USS Missouri battleship was up to 33 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was 9 406 mm guns in three turrets of three guns each, and the secondary armament was mainly 20 127 mm guns. The USS Missouri was the third of the six Iowa-class battleships ordered. As it turned out, with the Montana-class battleship building program failing, the Iowa-class battleships were the last to be launched for the US Navy. As they were built without any financial or displacement limits, they also turned out to be the most technologically advanced American battleships in World War II. From the outset, they were built as key carrier ships for aircraft carriers and placed great emphasis on high top speed, which made Iowa-class battleships much faster than any other American battleships. They also had carefully crafted armor and new 406 mm Mk. VII with a greater range of the effective shot. USS Missouri (BB-63) began its participation in World War II in December 1944, by ferrying from Atlantic ports to Hawaii. As early as January 1945, he supported the US Marines on Iwo-Jima with his artillery. In March this year, the USS Missouri acted as a shield ship for a team of aircraft carriers that attacked targets on the Japanese Islands with their on-board planes. In April, he supported activities in the Okinawa region. The battleship completed its operations in World War II in a very glorious and representative manner - it was on board that the representatives of Japan signed the act of unconditional surrender of their country on September 2, 1945. The ship also took an active part in the Korean War (1950-1953). In 1956, however, he was placed in the reserve. In the 1980s, he returned to line service, having previously undergone a thorough modernization. It involved the installation of modern electronics and fire control systems, as well as the installation of Tomahawk and Harpoon rocket launchers and Phalanx anti-aircraft systems. The battleship was also adapted to the homing of on-board helicopters. The ship modernized in this way took an active part in the protection of tankers in the Persian Gulf region in 1987, in the final phase of the Iran-Iraq war. He returned to these waters in 1990 to take an active part in Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991) firing rockets and on-board artillery at targets in Iraq. Finally, in 1992, the ship was decommissioned. At present, it serves as a museum ship in Hawaii.

USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) was an American classic-propelled aircraft carrier. The keel for this unit was laid in 1956, the launch took place in May 1960, and the commissioning to the US Navy took place in 1961. The total length of the ship was 323 meters, the overall width was 86 meters, and her displacement was about 84,000 tons. The maximum speed did not exceed 33 knots. The on-board armament initially consisted of Terrier rocket launchers (later replaced by Sea Sparrow launchers, and later - by RIM-116 launchers) and up to 4 sets of Vulcan Phalanx CIWS cal. 20 mm. The aircraft carrier could take up to 85-90 aircraft on board. The USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) was the lead ship of the carrier class of the same name - Kitty Hawk. The ships of this type were essentially a modernized version of the Forrestal ships. The main changes concerned the enlargement of ships, changes to the layout of the airlifts and the flight deck. The USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) was built at New York Shipbuilding. Shortly after entering service, the carrier was directed to the Pacific and assigned to the United States' 7th Fleet. In the years 1962-1964, the unit courteously visited the ports of Japan and the Philippines. Since 1965, the USS Kitty Hawk on-board aircraft attacked targets in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. In 1980, the unit underwent modernization and extended service life under the SLEP program. Four years later (1984), there was a collision between the aircraft carrier and a Soviet Victor-class submarine. Ultimately, the USS Kitty Hawk was decommissioned in 2009.

HMS Warspite was a British battleship laid down in 1912, launched in November 1913, and commissioned in the Royal Navy in March 1915. The total length of the ship was 195 m, width 27.6 m, and full displacement - 33,400 tons. The maximum speed of battleship Warspite was around 25 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was eight 381 mm guns in four twin turrets. The secondary armament consists of 12 152mm guns, 2 76mm guns, 4 47mm pom-poms, and 4 533mm torpedo tubes. HMS Warspite was one of five Queen Elizabeth-class battleships. Battleships of this type were built just before the outbreak of World War I, as a British response to the rapid naval armament of the Second German Reich. They are often referred to as super-dreadnoughts - for the first time in the history of the navy, 381 mm artillery with 42-caliber barrels was used on them, and for the first time battleships reached a speed of about 25 knots. Many of the solutions used on this type were reflected in later British battleships. All ships of the Queen Elizabeth class also underwent significant modifications in the interwar period: first of all, they received new engine rooms, better and more efficient boilers, their armor was thickened, the profile of superstructures was changed and the anti-aircraft artillery was significantly expanded. Thanks to these upgrades, these ships were not inferior to other German or Italian battleships, as well as many Japanese battleships - with the exception of the Yamato class. The HMS Warspite battleship was built at the Dockyard shipyard in Devonport. From the moment he entered service, he was part of the Grand Fleet and, as part of it, took part in the Battle of Jutland in 1916, in which he did not suffer any serious damage. For the rest of World War I, he did not enter into any serious combat contact with German ships. However, he took part in the internment of German units in Scapa Flow. In the interwar period, it served both in the Atlantic Ocean and in the Mediterranean Sea. His glorious and rich combat route during World War II began with the struggle at Narvik in April 1940, contributing significantly to the Allied success in the so-called II Naval Battle of Narvik on April 13, 1940. Shortly thereafter, he was transferred to the Mediterranean Sea where he took part in the Battle of Cape Matapan (March 1941). In the second half of 1941, he was sent to the USA for modernization, which lasted until the end of that year. In early 1942, it found its way to the Indian Ocean, but later returned to the Mediterranean Sea - shortly before the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. In September of that year, it supported the Allied landing at Salerno, where it suffered severe damage. After the renovation, it supported the Allied forces landing in Normandy in June 1944 with their artillery fire. The last time he took part in the action was November 1944. After the war, in July 1946, it was scrapped. Academy's detailed kit of the British battleship HMS Warspite as it appeared in 1943. Includes photo-etched metal detail parts and a display stand. This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

Mutsu was a Japanese battleship laid under the keel in 1918, launched in May 1920, and commissioned in the Imperial Japanese Navy in November 1921. The ship was 224 meters long, 34 meters wide, and had a full displacement of 42,800 tons. The maximum speed of battleship Mutsu was around 25-26 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was 8 410 mm guns in four turrets, two guns each, and the additional armament was mainly 20 140 mm guns. Mutsu was the second and final Nagato-class battleship. The Nagato type was the first series of battleships whose main artillery exceeded the caliber of 400 mm. In the interwar period, Mutsu was modernized twice, which led to the removal of the front chimney, a far-reaching change of the front superstructure, the installation of a new fire control system and the de facto change of the entire engine room. Catapults for seaplanes have also been added. During World War II, Mutsu did not take part in the fighting extensively. During the Battle of Midway (June 1942), he was part of the Main Force, but did not actually take any part in the battle. At the turn of 1942/1943, it sailed in the Guadalcanal area, but again it was not put into action. On June 8, 1943, probably due to the negligence of the crew, the battleship Mutsu was struck by a powerful explosion associated with the loading of main artillery ammunition on board, which quickly led to its sinking. This kit boasts a full hull parts, divided into left and right sections as well a an integrated deck that recreates this Nagato-type battleship beautifully. This is an injection-plastic ship model kit. Inlcudes 41cm long gun metal gun barrels

The Japanese Navy's Last Heavy Cruiser The Chikuma was completed in May 1939 as the second ship of the Tone-class. She was the final heavy cruiser to be built by the Japanese Navy and featured a distinctive design which concentrated four twin 20.3cm main gun turrets forward of the bridge in order to allow unimpeded launching of her six floatplanes from the aft deck during battle. Chikuma often accompanied the Japanese Navy's aircraft carriers since her floatplanes provided considerable reconnaissance capabilities to the fleet, and she was present at such important engagements as the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway. She continued to serve valiantly until her demise at the hands of U.S. carrier aircraft during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944. Features This is a 1/350 scale plastic assembly kit of the Japanese Heavy Cruiser Chikuma. Length: 576mm, Beam: 71mm.

Restricted by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the German Kriegsmarine exploited a loophole by designing a fleet of fast, wooden-hulled attack craft they referred to as Schnellboots. Expertly designed, these vessels were perfected over time and by the outbreak of the Second World War, they had become a devastatingly effective part of Germany’s naval strength. Powered by three diesel engines and featuring a triple rudder arrangement, Germany’s E Boats were some of the fastest warships in the world. With their low profile, high manoeuvrability and torpedo armament, if they penetrated any Allied convoy, they could destroy several vessels and make their escape before coming under return fire.
