Product Description
Arizona was the second ship of the United States Navy's Pennsylvania-class battleships.
The ship is named after the state of Arizona, and is the third ship to bear that name.
Authorization for construction of the second Pennsylvania-class super-dreadnought battleship was granted in 1913, and Arizona was laid down at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in 1914.
Arizona was commissioned in 1916 and joined the 8th Battleship Division after training. Beginning in 1929, she underwent modernization at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, including replacing and upgrading her gun ports, adding deck armor, improving her catapult, replacing her main engine, and taking measures against flooding.
During the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Arizona, which was moored at Ford Island, was sunk by an 800 kg bomb dropped by a Type 97 carrier attack plane, which detonated an explosives magazine at the front of the ship.
In 1962, the Arizona Memorial was built as a memorial directly above the sunken USS Arizona, and is visited by more than one million people every year.
The kit includes an injection-molded hull and turret, 3D printed parts, etchings, brass turned parts, paint masking, and decals.
