About The USS Antietam,
USS Antietam (CV-36) was an Essex class aircraft carrier commissioned in the
closing months of WWII on January 28 1945, too late to see any combat.
(Incidentally, the name “Antietam” commemorates a famous battle of the American
Civil War, the bloodiest single-day battle in American history, where 23,000
casualties were incurred). The USS Antietam was stationed in the Far East for
three years until 1949, its air wing providing support for Allied occupation
forces in China, Manchuria and Korea. When the Korean War broke out in 1950, USS
Antietam was reactivated, thus participating in the only operational deployment
of her career. The carrier was stationed off the coast of Korea, its aircraft
supporting UN forces with a variety of missions against North Korean targets.
Dragon has produced a 1/700 scale version of this carrier.
It has received a brand new angled deck, which
differentiates it from previous Essex class
carriers in the Dragon range.
The model ship comes with both a full hull and waterline hull for greater
modeling choice. This outstanding kit also sports a new superstructure.
Complementing the plastic parts is a series of photo-etched components offering
even superior detail. The carrier includes a complete set of scale aircraft and
helicopters (e.g. F-4U, F-9F-8, AD6, Dragonfly) produced in clear plastic. This
is another hot addition to the U.S. Navy’s carrier fleet, and at 1/700 scale,
it’s a lot more compact than the original!
