USS Seawolf (SSN-21)
Stock Number: YKM-35041 Price: $78.95
All U.S. submarines were numbered in a single series with the exception of six specialized craft until the advent of the Seawolf, which is designated SSN-21 to indicate the 21st century. The Seawolf is the U.S. Navy's third submarine of that name. The first was SS-197, the second SSN-575, the Navy's second nuclear-propelled submarine which was decommissioned on July 10, 1987. She is the US Navy's latest submarine, and can dive faster, deeper and has more weapon systems than previous class boats. The new propeller design and stealth technology make this boat the most advanced in the world.
The Blue Water Navy kit measures 12 inches long and is a perfect starter kit. The hull is a single casting with metal dive plates. A small photo-etched brass sheet is included.
Subs of class: USS Seawolf (SSN-21), USS Connecticut (SSN-22) and USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23).
