The heavy cruiser Fiume departed on April 29, 1929 from the technological company of Trieste, launched on April 27, 1930 and will be completed by November 23, 1931. From then until 1940 Italy entered the war, river cruiser in squadron. From 1936 to 1937 during the civil war in Spain, cruiser was in Spanish waters. In April 1939 Fiume was involved in the invasion of Albania.
Mogami was a Japanese heavy cruiser whose keel was laid in 1931, launched in March 1934 and commissioned into the Imperial Japanese Navy in July 1935. The length of the ship was 201 m, the width 18 m and the effective displacement, after modifications, it was 13,400 tons. The maximum speed of the Mogami cruiser was about 34-35 knots. At the outbreak of World War II, the main armament was 10 203 mm guns in five twin turrets and additional armament included: 8 127 mm guns and 12 610 mm torpedo tubes. The Mogami was the first cruiser of the type to bear the same name, namely the Mogami. Cruisers of this type were originally built lightweight to meet the requirements of the Washington Disarmament Treaty of 1922. Furthermore, at the time of launch, they displaced only 9,500 tons, rather than the 10,000 tons required by this treaty for cruisers. At the same time, they had powerful artillery in the form of as many as 15 155 mm guns in five three-gun turrets! The Japanese designers, however, assumed a subsequent adaptation of this type of unit with 203 mm guns already at the design stage, which actually happened later. Being one of the first Japanese ships, welding techniques were used in their construction, but due to the lack of experience of shipyards in this field, it led to operational problems, as well as the wrong center of gravity. In the course of modernization, these defects were removed on all units of this type. The battle route of the cruiser Mogami in World War II began in December 1941 with the support of Japanese actions in the French Indochina area. At the turn of 1941/1942, Mogami continued to support and cover the Japanese landings, but already in present-day Indonesia. In February 1942, the cruiser fought in the Sunda Strait. She also took part in the Battle of Midway (June 1942), where she hit the side of the cruiser "Mikuma" while making a turn. Due to severe damage, it was headed to Japan, where the aft artillery towers were removed and the number of seaplanes carried was increased. The cruiser Mogami sank on October 25, 1944 during the Battle of Leyte Bay.
GERMAN BATTLESHIP TIRPITZ 1/350 TAMIYA 717MM X 103MM The Tirpitz was a battleship of the German Kriegsmarine, the second and last unit of the Bismarck class. It was conceived, together with its twin ship Bismarck, to be the spearhead of the German navy. Entered into service long after the outbreak of the Second World War, the ship participated in very few war actions, spending most of its life hiding in the Norwegian fjords from Allied attacks; in fact it had the function of "fleet in being", that is to keep a large quantity of enemy forces busy due to its potential danger. After the sinking of its twin ship Bismarck, it was nicknamed by the Norwegians "The lonely queen of the North" (Den ensomme Nordens Dronning)[2] We do not ship to the Canary Islands
USS Enterprise (CVN-65) was an American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The keel of this unit was laid in 1958, the launching took place in September 1960, and the commissioning into the US Navy took place in 1961. The overall length of the ship was 342 meters, the beam overall was 78.4 meters, and its total displacement was about 93,000 tons. The maximum speed was up to 33 knots. The onboard armament included, among others: three Sea Sparrow rocket launchers and three sets of 20 mm Vulcan Phalanx CIWS. Later, two launchers for the RIM-116 missile were also added. The aircraft carrier could carry up to 90 aircraft on board, but normally operated 60-70 aircraft and helicopters. USS Enterprise (CVN-65, commonly known as Big "E") was the first and only ship of its type. Very high construction costs, well above the original assumption, led to the cancellation of five planned units of this type. The USS Enterprise, however, was unique not only in this, but also because it was the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in history to have up to eight nuclear reactors on board! The unit received very modern electronic equipment for its time in the form of SCANFAR radar. The USS Enterprise (CVN-65), shortly after its entry into service, took part in the maritime blockade of Cuba in 1962. Two years later, it operated in the Mediterranean. The unit also took an active part in the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975), fighting there from the very beginning. In 1969, a tragic accident occurred on the aircraft carrier, the self-ignition of one of the missiles, killing 28 people and injuring 334. In 1986, the USS Enterprise became the first nuclear aircraft carrier to pass through the Suez Canal. Shortly thereafter, the carrier's aircraft bombed targets in Libya. The unit was decommissioned in 2012. We do not ship to the Canary Islands.
