Dragon Warships - 1/350 U.S.S. The Sullivans Ddg-68 - D1033

USS The Sullivans (DDG-68) is an Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided-missile destroyer, commissioned in 1997 and named in honour of the five Sullivan brothers of Waterloo, Iowa, who all perished together when the light cruiser USS Juneau was sunk in November 1942 — the greatest single loss of siblings by a US military family in WWII.

Unlike the WWII-era destroyers elsewhere in Dragon's 1/350 range, this kit represents a modern warship: a Flight I Burke-class hull fitted with the SPY-1D phased-array radar, Mk 41 vertical launch system, a 5-inch/54 Mk 45 gun and Phalanx CIWS mounts, all reproduced with Dragon's characteristic slide-moulded precision.

Fine surface detail on the superstructure, VLS hatches and mast arrays is complemented by photo-etched railing and antenna detail plus a decal sheet for hull markings, letting builders create an accurate full-hull or waterline model of this active-duty Aegis destroyer.

A striking addition for collectors wanting to bridge WWII and modern navy subjects, or for anyone building a tribute to the Sullivan brothers' legacy in miniature.
