With its impressive firepower, advanced technology, and substantial armor, the Iowa-class battleships were a formidable force during their time.
The USS Missouri served in multiple conflicts, starting with World War II, where it participated in the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. During the Korean War, the Missouri provided naval gunfire support and played a crucial role in shore bombardments. Reactivated and modernized during the 1980s, the battleship saw action during the Gulf War, firing Tomahawk missiles and providing sustained naval gunfire in support of coalition forces.
The 1:700 scale model showcases the intricate details of the ship's design, including its powerful main battery, secondary armaments, and radar systems.
