On the opening day of the Pacific War, December 7, 1941, as flagship of Scouting Force, US Fleet, she was making a simulated bombardment near Hawaii. In March 1943, she became flagship of Admiral Raymond Spruance, Commander Fifth Fleet which consisted of Task Force 58 plus 130,000 marines and army troops. Leading the giant fleet, she participated in most of the major Central Pacific campaigns. In March 1945, she was severely damaged and returned to Mare Island for repairs. During the two-month period of repairs, her equipment was renewed and much improved with the latest radar, electronic gun sights and new Curtiss Seahawks. After the repairs, she loaded secret cargo and personnel at San Francisco, and sailed for Tinian Island on July 16, where a B29 bomber base was located, and arrived there to unload the cargo and personnel on July 26. Then four days later, on July 30, she sunk after taking two torpedo hits from the submarine I-58.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Model\u003cbr\u003e\n★This is a plastic model assembly kit of the U.S. Navy heavy cruiser, Indianapolis. ★1\/700 scale, 266mm in overall length, 29mm in overall width ★Precisely replicates the anti-aircraft armaments and equipment improved in July 1945. ★Realistically recreated hull consists of right and left halves. ★Anchor chain and nonslip treatments on deck are well expressed by precise mold carving technique. ★Bridges, funnels, masts and radar also show intricate details.

Among the ships sunk on that tragic day was USS Arizona (BB-39), a powerful Pennsylvania-class battleship displacing 30,000 tons. The battleship had been transferred to Hawaii in April 1940 as a deterrent to Japanese territorial expansion. Ironically, Japanese aircraft sank her at anchor with the loss of 1,177 lives. The wreck of USS Arizona still lies at the bottom of Pearl Harbor, straddled by a memorial to all those who died in the surprise attack. One of the aircraft types that the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) used to carry out the raid was the Nakajima B5N2 torpedo bomber. Known to the Allies as “Kate”, this Type 97 aircraft achieved some notable successes in the early part of the Pacific War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the 70th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack approaches, Dragon is launching a very practical set consisting of a 1\/700 scale USS Arizona model as well as two “Kate” torpedo bombers protagonists. These two elements – battleship and aircraft - can once again meet in a head-on confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ship kit is the previously released Premium Edition item, which means it’s well endowed with photo-etched parts and metal barrels for the large naval guns. Clever engineering removes much of the hard work from assembly too. On the other hand, the two B5N2 aircraft are completely new items from new toolings. They are molded in transparent plastic so that modelers can paint them more easily and retain clear glazing for the cockpit canopies. For those modelers wishing to reproduce a scene from that historically dramatic day, you can’t get much better than this set!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dragon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51521937998091,"sku":"7127","price":49.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/dragon-hk-7127-uss-arizona-bb-39-and-nakajima-b5n2-kate.jpg?v=1749145179"}],"url":"https:\/\/anglia-models.com\/fr\/collections\/svc-us_nvy-ships-1-700-e2c.oembed","provider":"Anglia Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
